La Vuelta Feminina stage 5 LIVE - Marianne Vos faces a battle with the mountains to hold on to her general classification ranking

Vollering takes the general classification lead has Vos drops out of the top ten. Vollering has a three second advantage on AvV. Chabbey remains in the QOM jersey, Vos retains the green points jersey. Santesteban is awarded the combativity jersey today.

She comes out of the saddle with the power but finishes seated well ahead of AvV who takes second, Bauernfeind with a very impressive third. Muzic takes fourth, Realini fifth. A great ride on the climb there from all involved, in particular from young riders Bauernfeind (23) and Realini (21) who really showed their strength as climbers there.

AvV comes through, Bauernfeind still there

She looks in control here as it gets steep.

Vollering keeps the pressure and AvV stays on her wheel. Bauernfeind with them.

Vollering at the front, AvV second wheel, Realini third. Spratt dropped. Gap back up to over a minute.

Realini is having none of it! She counter attacks Vollering as they take turns at the front. Dygert dropped.

Realini working hard at the front of the leaders as they go up the climb. Niewiadoma dropped.

Gap remains around 30 seconds as the front group approach the summit.

The gap goes back up again, Markus looking strong setting the pace as the only rider from Jumbo-Visma in the front group, she may be finishing the stage in la maillot rojo today...

Peperkamp attacks at the start of the climb, Persico goes with her and the group come back together.

Looks like R Markus took first at the intermediate sprint, she takes the virtual GC lead. Gap 24 seconds. Dygert second, Uijen third.

Uijen putting in an impressive effort at the front. Gap down to 36 seconds. The bottom of the climb could be the point where the two groups combine. Movistar still working tirelessly for Lippert. Not long until the intermediate sprint.

Group two not far away now. Movistar still pulling, here's an earlier update from them:

The gap continues to drop. Rooijakkers out of the saddle and putting in a shift as the road ramps up.

Group two reduce the gap to just under a minute. Persico was working hard in group two before making away for Realini to take over. García vocal in the leading group but not much organisation from anyone else.

Group two working hard to reduce the lead of the bunch in front. Front group slowing, the pressure has dropped off. Blanka Vas (Team SD Worx) working hard in the second group.

Dygert working hard at the front. Team mates Chabbey, Bauernfeind, Rooijakkers, and Niewiadoma all in this group. FDJ-SUEZ have Adegeest, Cavalli, Muzic. Team DSM have Labous, Peperkamp, and Uijen. Team SD Worx with Reusser and Vollering. UAE Team ADQ with four: Persico, Baril, Ivanchenko, and Magnaldi.

Gap to the group behind just over a minute.

She's shaking her head, deceptive from the team cars who were further behind the front group than usual leaving her visibly frustrated as she's caught. Movistar still pulling the group that caught her.

Movistar pulling the front of la maillot rojo group with the help of Jumbo-Visma who are strung out in a line. Dygert doing the same in group one. Fisher-Black about 30 seconds behind the front.
