Eight Americans will be in the field for the Giro d’Italia Internazionale Femminile starting on Friday, including two-time winner this year Megan Guarnier. Evelyn Stevens, who has finished in the top four three times, and Kristabel Doebel-Hickok, ninth in the Philadelphia International Cycling Classic provide more top ten depth. Scott Lechuga, 15th in Philadelphia, Mara Abbott, 17th in the Amgen Tour of California, and Amber Neben, 24th in California provides even more contenders.

Friday will be a 1.2 mile prologue that will provide a little separation at the start. There will be regular stages all of the remaining days except for an individual time trial next Friday. The Giro d’Italia Internazionale Femminile wraps up on Sunday the 10th.
