Tour de France stage 5 preview: Route map and profile as sprinters eye fast finish today
A fter the general classification contenders took centre stage on the first true climbing test, the Tour de France ’s premier fastmen are set to return to prominence on Stage 5 today.
Two days on from a first bunch sprint into Turin, a 177.4km run from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Saint-Vulbas looks likely for another dash at the denouement.
The stage weaves further inland from the Alpine foothills, with a fast and furious opening likely on a downhill charge towards Chambery before a couple of lumps and bumps in the back half of the day’s racing.
Two fourth category tests are unlikely to prompt any significant action, though, with even the most uphill-averse sprinters likely to survive the Cote du Cheval Blanc (1.5km at 4.3%) and Cote de Lhuis (3km at 4.8%).
While an early, futile breakaway may well get away to afford the sponsors of the smaller teams time in the spotlight, the peloton are all but certain to reel them in before arrival in the finishing town near Lyon.
A crash caused chaos in Turin and prevented a number of sprint trains from leaving the station, affording Biniam Girmay the opportunity to take a surprise, historic victory for Intermarche-Wanty.
The bigger outfits will look to strike back here: Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was the victim of double misfortune on Stage 3, caught up in the crash having lost leadout man Mathieu van der Poel to an apparent puncture.
Decathlon-AG2R may also be prominent in a route that takes in their Chambery hometown as they look to set things up for Sam Bennett , while Mark Cavendish will hope to challenge for a record 35th stage win. Positioning will be key with two roundabouts in quick succession just before the 2km-to-go mark.

The stage will begin with the neutralised rollout at 12.20 BST, with an expected finish a little after 4pm BST depending on the pace of racing after a tough day in the Alps.
After their respective mishaps on Sunday, expect Van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen to make a statement for Alpecin-Deceuninck.

Tour de France 2023 stage 5 preview: Route map and profile of 163km from Pau to Laruns
The 2023 Tour de France takes off for the high Pyrenees on Wednesday’s stage five.
After two hilly routes in Spanish Basque Country and two flat runs in French Basque Country, the serious yellow jersey contenders should come to the fore over the next two days, and we might find out a little more about the destiny of this year’s crown.
This 163km route from Pau to Laruns is flat for the first 70km, but then comes the first hors categorie climb of this year’s race, the Col du Soudet (15.2km at 7.2%). It is a long and gruelling drag to the top, and we can expect plenty in the peloton to get dropped here as the leaders crank up the pace. The yellow jersey, Adam Yates, said he expected “full gas” racing between the major contenders, despite the prospect of the giant Col du Tourmalet on Thursday.
That means two-time winner Tadej Pogacar , who is looking to win again after being dethroned last year, and reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard will likely go head to head and we could see some attacks here in the middle of the stage.
They may not be at the front, however: American rider Neilson Powless has made clear his desire to win the polka dot jersey and he will be determined to scurry up the road first to collect more King of the Mountains points to add to his early collection. Powless has generally be picking up one and two points for being the first over category three and four climbs, but the hors categorie ascents hold 20 KoM points for first place, and collecting those would put him in a strong position to go to the end of the race wearing polka dots.
Once over the Soudet, the riders will still face another tough climb, the category one Col de Marie Blanque (7.7km at 8.6%), shortly before the finish. If the breakaway is still at the front of the race by the top then it will have a strong chance of reaching the end for the stage win. The descent from Marie Blanque is fast, before a slight uphill drag of about 7km to the finish in Laruns.
The breakaway is likely to be caught be the sheer strength of the elite riders on what is a tough stage. Pogacar and Vingegaard could well win a stage like this and stamp their authority on the race. Look out for Tom Pidcock too; the Ineos rider can use the fast descents to his advantage.
Stage 5 route map and profile
The stage is set to begin at around 12pm BST and is expected to finish at around 4.30pm BST.
It is all set up for one of the big two to take hold of the yellow jersey. Vingegaard is so strong in the high mountains and is unlikely to get dropped at any point, but Pogacar has the speed to win on what is a relatively flat finish.

Official post-race summary for Stage 5 (from letour.fr )
A frantic bunch sprint in Saint-Vulbas on Stage 5 was won by Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) in front of an excited crowd to make Tour de France history. Cavendish clinched his 35th Tour stage victory in style, making him the most prolific stage winner in the history of the race outright, now alone in front of the man he had previously shared the honour with, the great Eddy Merckx. Cavendish used all his experience in an electric bunch sprint to grab the historic triumph ahead of Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) in second and Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X), who was third. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) remains in the Yellow Jersey with no changes at the top of the GC on the fifth day of racing.
Two riders from Lyon There were 174 riders at the start of Stage 5 as the peloton rolled out of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne taking the official start after a 4.6km neutralised section. Following a few unsuccessful breakaway attempts, it was finally at km 25 that Clement Russo (Groupama-FDJ) left the peloton, joined at km 31 by Matteo Vercher (TotalEnergies). The two riders from Lyon were permitted to move clear by the peloton and obtained a maximum advantage of 4’35” at km 40. The duo's gap was calmly controlled by riders from Lidl-Trek and Alpecin-Deceuninck, who led the peloton. The average speed recorded after two hours of racing over flat terrain was 39.2 km/h. At the first categorised climb of the day - Côte du Cheval Blanc (Cat 4, km 104.6) - it was Russo who picked up the solitary point for the Mountain classification, with the peloton then 2’20” adrift of him and Vercher. More points won Russo was then first at the intermediate sprint at Aoste (IS, km 123.2) followed by Vercher, before the peloton arrived and Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) won a bunch sprint ahead of Sam Bennett (Decathlon-Ag2r La Mondiale), Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck). The riders then made their way to second categorised climb of the stage in the rain with the peloton gradually reducing the deficit to Russo and Vercher, finally catching them with just under 36 km to go, as the Côte de Lhuis (Cat 4, km 142,8) ascent started. History made in a grand finale Going over Côte de Lhuis first and uncontested was Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X) for another single Mountain classification point, ensuring him leadership of the climbers’ rankings for at least the next two days. Then at the finish in Saint-Vulbas it was Cavendish who showed his class and strength in the hectic final sprint to make Tour history, crossing the line ahead of Philipsen, Kristoff, Arnaud de Lie (Lotto-dstny) and Fabio Jakobsen (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL), whilst Girmay was ninth to secure the green jersey. A ride for the ages.

COMMENTS FROM RACE DIRECTOR CHRISTIAN PRUDHOMME - STAGE 5:
“The race’s temporary exit from the Alps will be made via Chambéry. Soon after, the peloton will be in La Bridoire, where the finish of the Classique des Alpes Juniors is regularly held. That’s a race for climbers, but they won’t get a look-in here as they head for Saint-Vulbas. After the Côte de l’Huis, tackled with 34km remaining, the wide roads beyond will be ideal for keeping a close eye on the breakaway riders. The winner’s bouquet looks destined to go to a sprinter.” letour.fr - Stage 5

Tour de France 2023 Stage 5: How to watch, TV and live stream details, route profile, start time
Published 04/07/2023 at 17:38 GMT
Could today be a day for a breakaway, and if so - perhaps for Egan Bernal? The Ineos Grenadier isn't expected to be a threat on GC, and therefore he may be allowed to stay away if he gets up the road. The big climb of the day as the race reaches the Pyrenees is the hors-categorie Col de Soudet, which tops out at 1,540 metres. We've got all you need to know for Stage 5 of the 2023 Tour de France.

PREVIEW | Tour de France 2023 stage 5 - First high mountain stage with Pogacar and Vingegaard as main favourites
Preview . The Tour de France enters the Pyrenees. Stage 5 is the first of many high mountain days in this year's Tour de France, and it features plenty climbs where Adam Yates will have a challenge maintaining the yellow jersey against Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard .
Stage 5 of the Tour de France from Pau to Lauruns will be the first high mountain day, in the Pyrenees. The Tour has opted for a different formula this year, a route for the pure climbers. Stages 5 and 6 will be a tough challenge with real mountains. As is always the case at the Tour, the start of a Pyrenean stage is flat, coming from the city of Pau which never misses the race.
Estimated start and finish times for Tour de France stage 5: 13:05-17:20CET

Whilst usually the first mountain stage at the Tour is blocked, it should not be the case here, as the stage will feature the tough Col de Soudet (15.1Km; 7.2%). A very hard climb, it summits with 76 kilometers to go, the pace won't likely be pushed too much but nevertheless, with this toughness the peloton could lose a few riders.
After a long descent the riders find the Col d'Ichère as a transition, it's 4.2 kilometers long at 6.2% and will summit with 38.5 kilometers to go. A small - but technical - descent will lead into the Col de Marie Blanque.
Prize Money Tour de France 2023 - Full guide to how €2.308.029 will be split between teams
This is the same finale as in 2020. The Col de Marie Blanque is a climb of two halves, very constant and a progressive rise of gradients. The final 4.8 kilometers average 10.5%, with only one hairpin. The first day in the mountains of a Grand Tour are usually very conservative, but on a climb like this differences can be made. The ramps are brutal, it's not a climb for big accelerations, but a tough pace will decimate the group.
The climb ends with 18.5 kilometers to go, and the descent will be quite technical, 11.5 kilometers long. Then the final 7 kilometers will be flat, there is time to close gaps, unlikely that gaps can be opened with serious damage, but as was the case in 2020 where Tadej Pogacar won his first Tour stage, it could be decided in a small group sprint.

The Weather
Cool temperatures and a northern breeze. Covered in the climbs, however if anything it will see a tailwind in the final kilometers which will help those looking to make a difference on the day.

The Favourites
Tadej Pogacar - Pogacar will certainly attack. If Jaizkibel showed anything it's that the roads don't have to be too hard to attack, and UAE in the lead will certainly again push all day long to chase a stage win. Sometimes it feels they burn too much, but with both Majka and Yates setting him up at Marie Blanque, big gaps can be cut to a breakaway. Will he be able to drop Vingegaard? I wouldn't bet on that, but surely he will try once again, and if anything, the stage win is surely up for grabs.
Adam Yates - Don't be mistaken, UAE is working for Pogacar. Yates is in yellow and in a great place at the time being, but he's a second card for the team. It's not an explosive stage and he's not an explosive rider, gapping Vingegaard again will be very hard as he will be watchful. If UAE race rather conservatively he could have a role in the final kilometers to attack and try to form an alliance, there he could prove quite useful as he is displaying incredible form.
Jonas Vingegaard - Vingegaard has raced the opening weekend conservatively and here I expect the same. It wasn't just for van Aert, no, Vingegaard knows that in any scenario Pogacar will outsprint him, which means bonification loss if they are fighting for the stage. But most importantly, by attacking and not dropping Vingegaard, Pogacar is having little motivation hits, and the Dane knows that, so he doesn't allow Pogacar to get any gains from those attacks. Yates or Pogacar in yellow, it makes no difference for Vingegaard as UAE will work both ways, he will continue to be on the defense and wait for the longer ascents to try and make a difference, he doesn't have to worry about the rest as the level difference should be very large.
TV Guide - Where and When to watch Tour de France 2023
In all reality, between the GC guys it's those three, who have so far looked a level above the rest. Simon Yates on both hilly days looked quite good, but he is one of many who will now see what is his real place in the GC battle. Marie Blanque is a climb to be ridden by pace, don't expect attacks from anyone else, but instead pace and survival. Afterwards a stage could perhaps be on display, but all the GC riders will be trying not to lose time. Fit in Mattias Skjelmose , J ai Hindley , Mikel Landa , Michael Woods , Romain Bardet , David Gaudu , Carlos Rodríguez , and who knows maybe Victor Lafay could again be up there...
What can however happen is a breakaway taking the win. Now, UAE has the habit of chasing unreasonably hard, which is ultimately bad for their three-week ambitions, but in the short term may lead to a stage win. I can see that happen tomorrow, if so a break will struggle to work, but it stands good chances. Think back to the Giro d'Italia, virtually every year the first mountain stage sees a breakaway win, specially when it's not a summit finish. This is the Tour de France, many quality climbers came over with goal of winning a stage and they know this is a good day for that.
Giulio Ciccone , Ion Izagirre and Alexey Lutsenko are examples of riders who came with those ambitions and will have good freedom already. However the very hard start to the race has already seen many others emerge. Neilson Powless will certainly try to be there and defend his KOM jersey, the likes of Thibaut Pinot and Tobias Johannessen may have dreamed to fight for the GC but at this point of the race have lost time and will likely focus on stage wins.
Then you've got a little group of riders who could have had task of supporting GC leaders but no longer. Esteban Chaves and Rigoberto Urán of EF now have that as the main goal, whilst Movistar has the talented climbers Ruben Guerreiro and Matteo Jorgenson . AG2R could be said to not have the need to protect O'Connor much at this point, Felix Gall and Aurélien Paret-Peintre will have green card. The problem for many is that, as is always the case in the Pyrenees, race organizers make a flat start which will allow teams to block the peloton when a reasonable break goes up the road.
Five teams look to sign Tour de France breakthrough Victor Lafay, INEOS Grenadiers in the lead
Prediction Tour de France 2023 stage 5:
*** Tadej Pogacar, Matteo Jorgenson, Giulio Ciccone ** Jonas Vingegaard, Rigoberto Urán, Neilson Powless * Adam Yates, Simon Yates, Mattias Skjelmose, Alexey Lutsenko, Ruben Guerreiro, Ion Izagirre

Tour de France 2024 stage five preview - destined for a sprint
The second opportunity for the sprinters to go for glory
Date: Wednesday July 3, 2024 Distance: 177km Start location: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne Finish location: Saint-Vulbas Start time: 13:20 CET Finish time (approx): 17:16 CET
In the sixth century, three fingers said to be from the right hand of John the Baptist — and therefore of the hand that baptised Jesus Christ — were brought from Alexandria in Egypt to the small town in the Maurienne valley where today’s stage of the Tour de France sets off from. Although the validity of religious relics like this are always more than a little questionable, it continues to make the town (which derives its name of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne from it) a destination of pilgrimage, and is housed and worshipped in its 11th century cathedral, while also being referenced in the town’s coat of arms.
An analogy could be made between John the Baptist and whoever is in the yellow jersey at this point of the Tour. Just as he was initially heralded by many as the Son of God, only to instead by a precursor to Jesus Christ, the wearer of the yellow jersey this early into the race could merely be a false prophet, before the real champion makes himself known deeper into the second and third week.
Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne is located at the edge of the Alps, and has thus been the host of many key mountain stages of recent Tours — most memorably, albeit now for the wrong reasons, in 2006, when Floyd Landis launched his miraculous comeback long-range solo attack to put himself back into contention for the yellow jersey he’d lost the day before, a performance literally too good to be true as he was disqualified for registering a positive dope test. But today the riders will be headed away from, rather than further into, the mountain range. At least, for now — they’ll return here again in two weeks having circled a substantial lap around the rest of the nation, where the climactic GC stages will take place.
Instead, the riders will head in a northwesterly direction through the region of Savoy. We might have left Italy behind, but this is another region with historical ties to the nation; it’s the origin of the House of Savoy, which would ultimately hold the Italian crown following the nation’s unification in the 19th century. Prior to its move to Turin in 1563 (which was, incidentally, hosted Monday’s stage three finish), the House’s capital was in Chambéry, and the château that was the headquarters will surely be the subject of the obligatory helicopter shorts halfway into the stage.
Those shots will be savoured by commentators looking for something to talk about today, as the terrain here is mostly flat throughout, with only a couple of category four climbs that should do nothing to prevent a bunch sprint in the finish at Saint-Vulbas. Although not previously used at the Tour de France, Saint-Vulbas has featured in other races, and Nacer Bouhanni has fond memories here having won stages at both Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de l’Ain. The recently retired Bouhanni is an example of how big a leap it is even for prolific sprinters to win at this level — although he was good enough to win 70 races in his career, but never managed one at the Tour. Whichever sprinter wins today will be of the highest calibre.
Route profile sourced via ASO
The big favourite, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was unable to contest the race’s first sprint on stage three after being involved in a crash with two kilometres to go, but his team stated before the following stage that he had recovered well. If all is clear in the run-in to the finish line, Philipsen and his Alpecin team will want to ensure they secure this stage victory. Another rider prevented from being involved in the final sprint to the line due to the crash, however not involved, on stage three was Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) and his teammates. On his quest for the record-breaking 35th stage win, the Manxman admitted that his team were not in the best of positions to contest the win, even if the crash hadn't happened. Cavendish still seems positive, however, and stage four looks like another chance for him to make history.
Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty), nonetheless, has already made history in this race, becoming the first black African rider to win a stage at the Tour de France. He sprinted to a superb victory on stage three, proving that he is back to his winning form and will be a contender for the remaining sprint stages. Completing the podium was Movistar’s Fernando Gaviria and 22-year-old Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Dstny), both who are strong fast finishers, and therefore will be contenders for the expected bunch sprint in Saint-Vulbas.
Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) has looked in good condition so far, just missing out on the podium on stage three and being very active in the opening of stage four. He certainly is a rider who packs a punch when it comes to the sprint and has proven he can beat the likes of Philipsen in the bunch sprint. Behind him was Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco Alula) who was in good position in the final 100 metres, but a moment with De Lie blocked his ability to sprint over the line. He'll be hoping for a better end to his race and a clear path to victory.
After a rocky start in the brutal opening stages, Fabio Jakobsen (Team-DSM Ferminch PostNL) managed to secure seventh place in the first sprint. He took to Instagram stating that this was his “confidence builder”, so hopefully we will see the DSM rider place higher and higher in the sprints. Bryan Coquard (Cofidis), Sam Bennett (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team), and Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious) all looked strong in the first sprint, so will be ones to watch for the stage victory.
Stage five winner prediction
We're backing Jasper Philipsen for the sprint finish. He'll be even more determined to prove his sprint dominance once again after missing out on the first chance.

Tour de France Stage 5: Mark Cavendish Takes Record-Breaking 35th Win
Defying the odds, the Manx Missile becomes the most successful stage winner in Tour de France history.
Stage winner: Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) Race leader: Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates)
Mark Cavendish has more Tour de France stage wins than any other man in history.
Nearly a year to the day after he abandoned what was supposed to be his final Tour de France, nearly a year and two days from the moment that almost was, the Manx Missile did exactly what he set out to do, exactly what his team was built to do. He won a sprint stage in the Tour de France, the thirty-fifth of his career.
And it wasn’t particularly close.
“I’m in disbelief. We’ve done it,” Cavendish said after the race.
Soon after, the week’s other history maker , Biniam Girmay, interrupted the interview to wrap Cavendish in a big hug.
“The team took a gamble,” he added, commenting on his choice to return to racing for another shot at the record. “How we built the team, the equipment, every little detail has been put toward today.”
In breaking the record, thirty-nine-year-old Cavendish became the second-oldest rider ever to win a Tour de France stage. Pino Cerami won 1963’s ninth stage at forty-one years old.
After a brutal first week that featured a first day with 12,000 meters of climbing and a proper mountain stage that included the Col du Galibier, Wednesday provided a bit of respite for everyone, viewers included.
The second flat stage of this year’s Tour de France, Stage 5, stretched over 177.4 kilometers. From the start in Saint-Jean-De-Maurienne to the finish in Saint-Vulbas, the stage sloped gently downward, losing a total of 282 meters of elevation from beginning to end. However, the day did include a pair of category 4 climbs: the 1.5-kilometer, 4.3% Côte du Cheval Blanc, and the 3-kilometer, 4.8-percent Côte de Lhuis, neither of which made this anything but a sprint stage.
Nonetheless, Groupama-FDJ’s Clément Russo and TotalEnergies’ Mattéo Vercher spent most of the day off the front, hovering around two and a half minutes clear of the peloton in a breakaway that kicked off in mile nineteen.
Current yellow jersey Tadej Pogačar had a close call with just under thirty-seven miles to go, as he narrowly avoided crashing directly into a median. However, his evasive move caused a small pile-up behind him, taking down a few Movistar riders, a Lott-Dstny man, and Bahrain Victorious’ Pello Bilbao. Luckily, no one appeared to suffer any race-altering injuries.
A few miles later, just after the peloton crossed the line for the day’s intermediate sprint, a light rain started to fall, the slick roads caused teams to get a bit more anxious and eager than they normally might during the initial setup of their leadout trains.
As the rain fell, however, the area around the finish line remained dry.
Shortly after the day’s second climb started, Russo and Vercher were swallowed up by the peloton.
A few kilometers later, another median resulted in another crash. Like the first, this one was small, only collecting Visma-Lease a Bike’s Christophe Laporte, who quickly rode off without incident and got back on the peloton a few moments later.
The final few kilometers of the day took a pair of hard right-hand turns, all inside the ever-shifting time barrier (today, it was moved to the 4km mark rather than 3km), after which everyone is awarded the same time. The peloton crossed under the 4k-to-go banner at a blazing forty-two miles per hour.
Jasper Philipsen’s Alpecin-Deceuninck team charged first, with one mile to go. Still, Mark Cavendish’s Astana Qazaqstan squad quickly snuffed out their move, who played the final ten kilometers to absolute perfection. However, Astana’s train was forced to break up a bit as the final meters ticked down, and Cavendish appeared stuck in the middle. However, thirty-four stage wins will teach you how to muscle your way out of a sticky situation and how to freelance, which Cav has been doing better than anyone for years.
With just a bit of daylight, Cavendish left Philipsen’s wheel, charged to the front, took a lead he wouldn’t relinquish, and crossed the line with both hands raised in an image that will live in cycling history forever.
Michael Venutolo-Mantovani is a writer and musician based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He loves road and track cycling, likes gravel riding, and can often be found trying to avoid crashing his mountain bike.
