Wearing the light blue jersey of the leader in the Women's WorldTour U23 ranking, Shirin van Anrooij (Trek-Segafredo) was the only rider who could briefly follow Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx) when the latter accelerated on the lower slopes of the Lagunas de Neila climb, the finale of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas.

While Vollering would solo away to win the queen stage and overall classification of the four-day race, the fight for the lower podium spots was more exciting.
