An ambitious SD Worx-ProTime squad are aiming for both a top overall result and multiple sprint wins in this year's Giro d'Italia Women, which starts May 30 in the easterly coastal resort of Cesenatico.

Just like in 2025, four-time overall Giro winner and seven-time podium finisher Anna van der Breggen headlines the SD Worx-ProTime GC bid. Sixth last year, when by her own admission she was not at her best, Van der Breggen's morale has been boosted recently by a stage win and second place in the Vuelta España Femenina.
