Stage 5 is one for the sprinters with a flat 120km from Mirano into Monselice. It will mark a reprieve from the climbing before the decisive final three stages at the Giro d'Italia Women.

The peloton will tackle a primarily flat route, but overall classification leader, Marlen Reusser (Movistar), said that while it isn't a decisive GC day, overall contenders will still need to pay attention.
