Tour de France Stage 5: Cavendish Grabs Stage, Puts Merckx in the Rearview Mirror
Number 35! Says it all. No changes on gc.
Stage:
- CAVENDISH Mark, Astana Qazaqstan Team, 4:08:46
- PHILIPSEN Jasper, Alpecin - Deceuninck
- KRISTOFF Alexander, Uno-X Mobility
- DE LIE Arnaud, Lotto Dstny
- JAKOBSEN Fabio, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL
Saint Jean de Maurienne - Saint Vulbas 177.4 km
Weird seeing “Saint Jean de Maurienne” and then having a pretty certain sprint finish, it usually signals big mountain stages.
Estimated finish time: 17:15-17:35 CEST
Comeback Kid of the Day: Jasper Philipsen
The high testosteron boys at Alpecin will be cranky at missing out on even contesting the first sprint. Expect revenge.
