Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ) won stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia Women, easily beating Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM), and Isabella Holmgren (Lidl-Trek) in a sprint of four that had formed on the last climb of the day.

On a hard mountain stage through the Dolomites with the first-category climbs of the Passo Tre Croci and Passo di Sant'Antonio, the remnants of a large breakaway were caught by the group of favourites on the first ascent of the climb to Costa.

“I’m very happy to take the victory here, it’s my first stage in the Giro. It was a really long and hard day. We wanted to have some riders in the breakaway, and we had Amber [Kraak] and Lauren [Dickson], that was perfect. When we bridged to Lauren, she did an amazing job, it’s incredible to see what she’s able to do in her first-ever Grand Tour,” Vollering thanked her teammates after the stage.

“Maybe I went a little bit too early [on the final climb], so in the end, I could not make a difference anymore. But it was a really nice day. We raced with everything we had."

In the GC, Vollering moved to second place as Reusser lost almost a minute, and Longo Borghini also lost 15 seconds plus time bonifications.

“I did not expect that they would drop today, and it’s nice to have a bit more time on them. But Anna still has one minute on me, so we need to try to find some of her weak spots,” Vollering said, clear about her goal of overall victory.
