Zinaida Stahurskaia was originally credited with the GC win, but she had failed a doping control during the race, a fact which was not known at the time. Later, the Italian Cycling Federation ruled that she should be stripped of the title which was then awarded to Nicole Brandli with the others moving up. Here is a reference which is still on-line.

Brandli was thus declared the winner more than a year after the coclusion of the event. I believe the Nicole Brandli page needs to be corrected also.

Name of the race edit

@PeeJay - you moved this article from Giro d'Italia Femminile with an extremely brief edit summary 'the name "Giro d'Italia Femminile" is outdated'. Do you have any source to back up your claim? I would have thought that this move is significant enough to be discussed here first. You haven't even updated the article contents themselves with your new name.

I'll get around to it. There's a lot to change. Anyway, no one calls it the Giro d'Italia Femminile any more. It's either Giro Donne (the name used mostly by the organisers and much of the media - see here and here) or in some cases Giro d'Italia Donne. Either way, the race logo says Giro Donne. – PeeJay 10:36, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
