A general view of the peloton competing during the 12th La Vuelta Femenina 2026, Stage 2 a 109.8km stage from Lobios to San Cibrao das Vinas / #UCIWWT / on May 04, 2026 in San Cibrao das Vinas, Spain. (Photo by Szymon Gruchalski/Getty Images).

The previous day's stage 2 brought havoc to the peloton with a punishing course of never-ending short climbs. While none were categorized, the day ended with a small-group sprint, with Shari Bossuyt (AG Insurance-Soudal) taking a surprise win and Franziska Koch (FDJ United-Suez) moving into the overall race lead.

Overnight leader Noemi Rüegg (EF Education-Oatly) crashed out just 13km from the finish line.
