Stage 5 from Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais was set to be one of the most thrilling of this 2026 Tour de France Femmes, and the outcome was well been on par with the expectations.
Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) tore the Grande Boucle apart with an attack 31 kilometres from the finish that saw defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma | Lease a Bike) drop out of contention.
On the final climb of the day, the Dutch rider launched a number of accelerations that only Yellow Jersey Marlen Reusser (Movistar Team) and 2024 overall winner Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon//SRAM) could respond to. The front trio sprinted for the win, with Vollering claiming her fourth stage win in the Tour and Reusser keeping the overall lead by 12s on the Dutch star and 1:17 on Niewiadoma-Phinney. Next in the standings is the new owner of the white jersey, Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon//SRAM), at 2:40.
Tonight the teams and riders will regroup ahead of Thursday's stage: another demanding, climbing day between Montbrison and the Tournon-sur-Rhône.
Isabella Holmgren (Lidl - Trek) was top Canadian in 5th at 45s back. Holmgren is top Canadian overall in 7th at 3:05 back. Holmgren is 2nd in the young rider classification at 25s back.
