After taking the red jersey on stage 5 of La Vuelta Femenina, Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) extended her lead on stage 6 but remains cautious ahead of the final two stages this weekend.
Vollering was only beaten by Évita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ) on the climb to the top of La Laguna Negra, and she distanced the other GC contenders, winning six bonus seconds and taking 19 seconds on Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) who is second overall.
Elsewhere in the race for the GC, Riejanne Markus (Visma-Lease a Bike) finished fourth on the stage but defended her third place overall, one spot better than her final placing in the 2023 Vuelta Femenina. She is now 1:14 minutes behind Vollering and has a 24-second buffer on Juliette Labous in fourth.
