The rebranded Giro d'Italia women's organizers have presented a newly designed trophy for the overall champion of the 2024 7-7-14 8・day event held from June.
The special route presentation of the 2024 Giro d'Italia, held in Trento on Friday night, began with a short video in which young riders are laying their way to becoming champions. The new Trofeo Senza Fine, or Endless Trophy for women's events, was on display during the presentation at Teatro Sociale.
"This is a big moment for everyone in women's cycling. It's emotional to watch the video of the race and the new trophy," said Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek), who is on stage at the presentation of the Giro d'Italia women.
"I hope one day I will probably wear the jersey of the Italian National Champion and lift it up as a proud Italian winner."
The shape of the new trophy is the letter 8." It is an infinite symbol, and in mathematics it indicates an infinite dimension. A choice that represents the boundless passion, values, challenges and success that Corsa Rosa conveys," RCS Sport said in a press release.
The Giro d'Italia Women's branding was officially launched with the full route presentation of the men's Giro d'Italia in 2024, but Cyclingnews said the route presentation of the Giro d'Italia Women was delayed due to a delay in the design of the race route. I understand that the station has been delayed for several weeks.
"A dedicated presentation of the route will take place by the end of the year," RCS Sports said.
Giro d'Italia women changed the date for next year and was shortened to eight days held from 7/7 to 14. The event again overlaps with the men's Tour de France, and the Tour de France Femme will move on May 8 after the Paris Olympics.
"Next year will be very important to me at the Giro d'Italia women's and Olympic Games," said Leticia Paternoster, who was standing beside Longo Borgini during the presentation.
"One helps others, I need a carefully designed plan, and then carefully prepare for the race." Indeed, the Giro is a big goal and it's fascinating to see what races RCS Sport is organizing for us."
