The inaugural MECCA x NGV Women in Design Commission, opening on 6 October, will unveil a large-scale installation by world-leading Mexican architect ...

Tatiana Bilbao said: ‘I am deeply honoured and grateful to have been chosen for the Women in Design Commission by the NGV and MECCA. Her architectural work was presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2018 and is held in the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou, Paris and the Art Institute of Chicago. The communal structure represents a bygone practice of laundering clothing in public spaces and the social bonds formed among communities through this act. The MECCA x NGV Women in Design Commission is a major five-year series that, each year, invites an international female designer or architect to create new and significant work for the NGV Collection. Her work is known for challenging historical conventions, often rearticulating spaces so that they are more people-orientated and inclusive. Central to the installation is a basin-like structure inspired by the Lavadero of Huichapan, a historical communal laundry located in the town of Huichapan, Hildalgo in Mexico.

Double ascent of the Alto del Vivero precedes downhill run-in to the finish.

Roll-out is coming up in just over five minutes, the start proper closer to the hour. Blue skies and temperatures nearing 30 degrees in Irún, right on the French border. But the most likely outcome could be a breakaway victory. We could see the first real fight for a breakaway of this Vuelta. With this sort of terrain, and with enough question marks over who'll control the peloton, there should be a fair bit of interest in today's escape. Today's stage is an interesting one, which could go a number of ways. Hayter might be the sort of fast finisher who could get over today's final climb, but Ineos won't control all day and he doesn't look like he wants to gamble. It was a massive moment for rider, team and race. A fast and frantic start! The Alto de Vivero is practically in Igor Antón's back garden. We've been racing for a shade under an hour.

Impey, Soler and Muhlberger are off the back early on while Fred Wright kicks clear and joins Adria in pursuit of Stewart, whose lead is down to 22 seconds. I was in the perfect position in the final and I have the red jersey. Fans are out in their droves here, which is lovely to see - a sea of Basque flags and orange jerseys. It's Wright and Craddock who are leading the chase in this quintet but they still trail Soler by 12 seconds on this descent. Langellotti, meanwhile, adds another point to his KOM tally, so he's up to 13pts and consolidates his drip on the polka dot jersey. Over the top goes the Spanish leader with that precarious gap over the chasers. and it looks like it will come down to a fast finish in Bilbao. Masnada and Muhlbeger have ridden clear of the chasers. Wright picked up four seconds for his third place - but that wasn't enough and Molard will lead this race by two seconds once the peloton comes through the finish. I knew he was very fast for the sprint so I had my doubts. In the final I was waiting for him because I knew he could win the stage with his sprint. I was not so far down on GC and I talked to my team-mates about the possibility of getting the red today.

5 19 5:09 He was still clear going into the final kilometer and a stall with 500 meters to go sealed the chasers’ fate. Soler had been dropped earlier on the climb but got back to the others and then made a big effort heading into the final 17km. He rode powerfully heading onto the second ascent of the Alto del Vivero and had a 40-second advantage with 18km remaining. The dozen leaders had an advantage of five minutes there, making it certain that one of the riders from the break would take the stage. All were brought back, as was an effort by Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo). Roglič finished as part of the main bunch 5:09 back and slips to fifth. The climbs began with the third category ascents of the Puerto de Gontzagarigana (km 95.6), the Balcón de Bizkaia (km 102.4) and the Alto de Morga (km 125.4). He is now two seconds clear of Wright, with Nikias Arndt (Team DSM) third, 1:09 back. Soler did things the hard way, missing the initial 17-man breakaway and then bridging across alone.

I’ll be thinking all evening about what I could have done better, but I’m really happy with my shape and taking the white jersey is a nice consolation for not quite being able to win today.” The day started with a fierce battle for the break, which eventually formed on the approach to the day’s opening climb, the 3rd category Puerto de Gontzagarigana. Never before has the 23-year-old worn a jersey in a World Tour race, but this will surely not be his last.

And given your position just two seconds off the race summit, you may well even find yourself swapping the white jersey for that red jersey later this week, too." "Keep riding with the aforementioned charisma, verve and panache, and that elusive stage win will come sooner rather than later. That win will come, says Felix Lowe, and he shouldn't change a thing. The best placed overall is Jan Bakelants at 5'02, just under a minute behind Primoz Roglic. The upwards roads are working to their advantage and ten have made good progress since they broke free. Chapeau to Fred, Phil and the whole family Wright. That's assuming they can both hold off the approaches of the many other riders, who also wouldn't mind their day in red. Langellotti had a very good day at the office yesterday, climbing into the blue polka dots with 13 points. That seems to be all Groupama FDJ, working on the front of the peloton, as you'd expect, are prepared to permit them. There's a maximum of 40 points on offer today, split evenly between the late-positioned intermediate and the finishline. We can expect that to come down dramatically on the final two categorised climbs, but we're still comfortably ahead of the fastest schedule. I've just had my attention drawn to the fact that this is the Vuelta stage that contains the most altitude gain, at 4120 metres.

As he tired, Soler overtook him on a road backed with enthusiastic Basque fans. Soler had led by 12 seconds at the top of the final climb of the day and was able to just hold off a group of eight pursuers on a nail-biting descent to take the first win by a Spanish rider in a Grand Tour (Giro de Italia, Tour de France and La Vuelta) since October 2020. 24 (Xinhua) -- Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) won a nerve-wracking fifth stage of the Vuelta a Espana on Wednesday as he was able to just cling onto a narrow lead over a thrilling last 10 kilometers.
