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.
