Tour de France Femmes 2026 Classifications Update Stage 5 - Ferrand-Prévot 5 minutes away from Reusser; Vollering shortens gap as GC is turned on its head
CyclingWednesday, 05 August 2026 at 18:33
The 2026 Tour de France Femmes classifications will shift across nine stages of racing, from the Grand Depart in Lausanne on 1 August to the final stage in Nice on 9 August. Across sprint stages, hilly terrain, an individual time trial and major mountain tests, each day can alter the shape of the race for the yellow jersey and the Tour’s other major classifications.
This live classifications hub is updated after each stage of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes with the latest General Classification, Points Classification, Mountains Classification and Best Young Rider standings. As the race develops, it tracks the key movements in the fights for the yellow, green, polka-dot and white jerseys.
The General Classification remains the central battle of the Tour, but the wider standings will develop their own stories across a compact and demanding route. Sprint stages can reshape the points competition, breakaways can transform the mountains classification and the white jersey fight could change quickly once the leading young riders are tested in the time trial and high mountains.
With only nine stages and four major jersey competitions to settle, there is little room to recover from lost time or missed opportunities. Bonus seconds, sprint points, mountain points, breakaway moves and decisive race incidents can all produce significant changes from one day to the next.
General Classification Standings after Stage 5
The overall classification has been fully scrambled once again, following the time trial where that had already been the case. Marlen Reusser maintains the yellow jersey, now with 12 seconds over Demi Vollering in what is showing to be the race's decisive battle for the yellow jersey.
Katarzyna Niewiadoma, with today's top ride, has climbed three positions and has managed to get into the podium with a solid lead - 1:17 minutes behind Reusser. Behind, different battles.
Antonia Niedermaier climbed to fourth and Dominika Wlodarczyk has moved into fifth after her successful breakaway. The UAE rider is now the team's best placed rider, four seconds ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini whilst Paula Blasi is 10th.
Inbetween are Isabella Holmgren, Femke de Vries, and Cédrine Kerbaol. Anna van der Breggen has lost her place in the Top10 and is now 12th whilst Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has lost another three positions and is now 17th at a whole 5 minutes of Marlen Reusser.

Youth Classification Standings after Stage 5
The youth classification has changed hands with a spectacular stage. Antonia Niedermaier and Nienke Vinke took to the breakaway to try and create big gaps but were brought back in the end by the main GC group. However amongst each other, gaps were not huge.
Paula Blasi lost ground to Niedermaier who had been in the breakaway, and Isabella Holmgren who benefited from Vollering's attack. Niedermaier now leads with 25 seconds over Holmgren, 1:11 minutes over Paula Blasi and 1:14 minutes over Nienke Vinke.

Team Classification Standings after Stage 5
UAE Team L'IMAD has climbed into the lead of the team's classifcation, much due to the depth they had. Whilst Dominika Wlodarczyk was in the breakaway and finished in the front groups; Elisa Longo Borghini and Paula Blasi also had strong finales. They now lead Lidl-Trek over 1:56 minutes, the same battle as in the men's Tour de France.
