Mara Abbot is first American to win the Giro Donne. She held onto a 2:05 margin over HTC-Columbia's Judith Arndt and a further minute over world champion Tatiana Guderzo (Team Valdarno) in the final standings. With her the new Scratch Pro DEA.
 
The title of best young rider remained with Marianne Vos (Netherlands), another Prologo rider (Nago Evo for her), who wore the pink jersey for two days before conceding it to Abbott on Friday.
