The Giro Donne has been won five times by a racer who led the general classification on the first stage and held the lead all the way to finish. Catherine Marsal was the first to accomplish this achievement in the 1990 Giro, with Fabiana Luperini, Nicole Brändli, Annemiek van Vleuten and Elisa Longo Borghini doing the same in 1996, 2005, 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Pink Jersey Individual records

The "Jerseys" column lists the number of days that the cyclist wore the pink jersey. The next five columns indicate the number of times the rider won the general classification, points classification, the Queen of the Mountains classification, and the young rider competition, and the years in which the pink jersey was worn, with bold years indicating an overall Giro win. For example: Fabiana Luperini has spent 40 days in the pink jersey, won the general classification five times, won the points classification once, won the mountains classification four times, and never won the young rider classification. She wore the pink jersey in the Giros of 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2008 (which she all won). Roberta Bonanomi in 1989 and Demi Vollering in 2026 are the only two riders to have won the Giro Donne with only one pink jerseys in their career.

Diana Žiliūtė is, as of 2026 with fourteen days in pink, the rider with the most pink jerseys ever for someone who has not won the Giro. The four active Giro Donne winners Marianne Vos, Anna van der Breggen, Elisa Longo Borghini, Demi Vollering rank, as of 2026, joint 2nd, 4th, 10th and joint 42nd with thirty three, twenty seven, eleven and one day in pink respectively.
