Tour de France Stage 5: Cavendish Grabs Stage, Puts Merckx in the Rearview Mirror

Number 35! Says it all. No changes on gc.

Stage:

1. CAVENDISH Mark, Astana Qazaqstan Team, 4:08:46
2. PHILIPSEN Jasper, Alpecin - Deceuninck
3. KRISTOFF Alexander, Uno-X Mobility
4. DE LIE Arnaud, Lotto Dstny
5. 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.
