## Stage 1
### 30 June 2023 — Chianciano, 4.4 km (2.7 mi) (ITT)

The first stage of the 2023 Giro d'Italia Donne featured an individual time trial (ITT) with a length of 4.4 kilometres (2.7 mi) around Chianciano Terme in Tuscany. Heavy rain and thunderstorms affected the stage, with multiple riders crashing including Mavi Garcia and Chloé Dygert of Canyon–SRAM - with Dygert still managing to set the fastest time. 2022 winner van Vleuten then beat Dygert, before the organisers called for a pause due to the weather. Resuming around 20 minutes later, Letizia Paternoster of Team Jayco-AlUla then beat van Vleuten's time by five-hundredths of a second.
With over 100 riders remaining, the organisers paused the stage again due to standing water on the roads and full storm drains. The stage was eventually cancelled on the grounds of rider safety using the Extreme Weather Protocol. van Vlueten called the stage "a lottery" and that it was good that the stage had been cancelled.
All times set were disregarded, and no classification jerseys were awarded. The race therefore started on stage 2 on Saturday 1 July.
