As it happened: Tour de France stage 5 - lead and win for Hindley, Pogačar suffers

Vingegaard moves up to second, Pogačar loses a minute on Dane.

Tour de France 2023 – Analysing the contenders Tour de France 2023 - the definitive guide Tour de France: Jai Hindley wins stage 5 as Vingegaard drops Pogačar in Pyrenees How to watch stages 5, 6 and 7 of the Tour de France

Hello and welcome to Cyclingnews live coverage of stage 5 of the 2023 Tour de France.

The rollout for stage 5 is due to begin at 1305 CET and after a long-ish neutralised section,  actual racing begins at 1325 CET.

Two confirmed non-starters today: Luis León Sánchez (Astana Qazaqstan) and Jacopo Guarnieri (Lotto-Dstny). Both riders broke their collarbones in crashes in Tuesday's tumultuous bunch sprint finish, and the Italian also broke one of his ribs.

For the remainder of the field, after two very hilly stages and then two bunch sprint stages, stage 5 is a rather different kettle of fish as the Tour heads into the Pyrenees for what is a very tough early test of climbing form and potentially a major GC battle.

Stage 5 has over 3,600 metres of vertical climbing, the fifth highest total in the entire race, so this promises to be a real baptism of mountain fire.

Here's a shot of Tadej Pogačar heading towards the start today

It's been widely noted that Pogačar was the winner in Laruns three years ago, also on a stage starting in Pau, also with the Col de Marie Blanque as the last climb. The million dollar question being - will history repeat itself today?

And here's a photo of Pogačar crossing the finish line  in Laruns back in 2020, the fastest of a group of five, and the first Tour stage of his career. (He has taken eight more since then). Fourth that day, incidentally was Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) and fifth Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), a result which will  be a morale boost for those two riders as well today.

Ok, that's enough past Tour history - back to the present. The peloton has just begun its rollout, a nine kilometre neutralised section prior the real race action getting underway. 

Confirmed that there are just two non-starters today, Luis León Sánchez (Astana Qazaqstan) and Jacopo Guarnieri (Lotto-Dstny). So 172 riders remain in the 2023 Tour peloton.

My colleague Dan Ostanek has written an excellent preview of today's first high mountain stage. To read it, link below: ' We'll attack in the Pyrenees' – Early Tour de France mountains to fuel GC skirmish

This is the 66th stage start for the Tour from Pau, a town which first appeared on the Grand Boucle route way back in 1930. 

Stage 5 of the 2023 Tour de France is now officially underway. Only 162.7 kilometres to go.

Although we've got a flattish first 50 kilometres or so, the mountains are going to be the big protagonist in today's race. Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) is in the lead, by 18 points over Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), but it's worth bearing in mind that a maximum of 32 points are up for grabs in three climbs today. The biggest gain will be the 20 on offer atop the Col du Soudet, while there's 10 on the Col de Marie Blanque, and 2 on the Col d'Ichère.

The first attack of stage 5 is already underway and we're only three kilometres in: France's Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) moves ahead.

This is the official weather forecast for today. Most important, no likelihood rain, so dry descents. Current temperature a balmy 22.9ºC. Variable to overcast skies in the afternoon.

No risk of rain.

Temperatures between 19 and 23°C.

Wind from the North-West averaging 10 km/h with gusts to 25 to 30 km/h.

Here's a quick reminder of the current state of play on the GC, courtesy of   FirstCycling . We can expect some significant changes by close of play today.

Crash for Tour de Suisse winner Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo), who gets back on his bike. Former Tour stage winner Dylan Teuns (Israel-Premier Tech) also hits the deck.  

151 kilometres to go

11 kilometres into the race, and Latour has a lead of around 10 seconds amidst plenty of other unsuccessful attacks. This is a rather faster start than stage 4's early snooze-fest.

Skjelmose is back in the pack, according to the official race website.

On today's Tour de France menu

Km 0: Start -  Pau Km 48.8: Sprint -  Lanne-en-Barretoux

Km 87.5: Climb -  Col du Soudet: HC: 15.2kms at 7.2%

Km 124.8:  Climb - Col d’Ichère -  Cat.3:  4.2kms at 7%

Km 144.2: Climb - Col de Marie-Blanque -  Cat. 1: 7.7km at 8.6% Km 162.7: Finish - Laruns

Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-QuickStep), a crash victim, is struggling with the fast pace as numerous attacks try to go clear.

Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and stage 2 winner Victor Lafay (Cofidis) are both trying to make moves, but there's a lot of ebbing and flowing at the front of the peloton.

Jakobsen, supported by teammate Michael Morkov, is weaving his way through the team cars and is about 30 seconds behind the main peloton.

Latour is about to be joined by eight other riders at the front of the bunch, but it's still a very nervous start and not clear if the break will stick.

The bunch regains ground on the nine, which included Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep) and Rigoberto Urán (EF Education-EasyPost), and we're back to square one.

Jakobsen and Morkov are just a few metres behind the peloton now, so it looks like the Dutch sprinter's mini-crisis is over.

140 kilometres to go

Average speed of nearly 48 kmh in the first 20 kiloemetes and the bunch briefly splits apart under the pressure of such a fast start, but although it's very lined out a the front, no move going clear for more than a few seconds.

Having all but regained contact, Jakobsen is now over a minute down again. It looks like it's going to be a hard day for the Soudal-QuickStep sprinter, who's suffering from his injuries from stage 4's chaotic finish.

A group of 20 riders clips clear in this breathless start to the stage, including GC Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo), but it's finally brought back by what amounts to the peloton.

A front group of 50 riders has formed, including Van Aert, and has around 30 seconds on the remains of the peloton. 

A furious chase is ensuing as UAE try to chase down the group of some 50 riders ahead, with Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) the best placed rider ahead on GC.

The gap has risen to over a minute for Hindley and co. This could be a seriously dangerous move for UAE and the other GC contenders behind.

Heavy crash for Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek), who falls in the middle of the road in the chasing peloton. He has a lot of road rash, and ripped kit, but for now at least he's trying to continue.

The official website says 32 riders are in  the front, including Hindley (at 22 seconds on GC),   Wout van Aert, French National Champion Valentin Madouas, Jack Haig, Rigoberto Uran, Emanuel Buchmann, Giulio Ciccone and Julian Alaphilippe...  

The full list in the break: Tiesj Benoot (Jumbo-Visma) Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) Felix Grosschartner (UAE) Marc Soler (UAE) Omar Fraile (Ineos) Dani Martínez (Ineos) Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) Esteban Chaves (EF) Rigoberto Uran (EF) Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep) Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) Remi Cavagna (Soudal-QuickStep) Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe) Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) Juanpe López (Lidl-Trek) Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) Berthet (AG2R) Felix Gall (Ag2R) Aurelien Paret-Peintre (AG2R) Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) Gregor Muhlberger (Movistar) Chris Hamilton (DSM) Hugo Houle (Israel-Premier Tech) Krists Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech) Christopher Juul-Jensen (Jayco-AIUIa) Anthony Delaplace (Arkea-Samsic) Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Dstny) Maxim Van Gils (Lotto-Dstny) Harold Tejada (Astana Qazaqstan) Torstein Traen (Uno-X) Mathieu Burgaudeau (Total-Energies)  

Coquard, Pedersen, Van Aert and Campanaerts clip off the front

Coquard wins the sprint and then sits up. Van Aert, Pedersen and Campanaerts continue on with a 20 second gap.

Campenaerts presses on and the trio ahead have a gap of 40 seconds on their three dozen pursuers, while the peloton is now more than 2:30 back.

A photo of UAE leading the chase in the main peloton. At 16 seconds Van Aert is the man who's currently the closest to Adam Yates on GC, but Jai Hindley at 22 seconds is arguably the biggest overall threat long-term.

Bora-Hansgrohe, who have three other riders alongside Hindley in the chasing group behind Van Aert, Campenaerts and Pedersen, are logically doing most of the work. 

The chasing group is breaking apart, as French National Champion Madouas, tries to counter-attack. He's chased down by Laporte, as Van Aert is ahead, but his attack is symptomatic of how tricky it is for any cohesion to endure in this massive group of pursuers.

We're in the foothills of the Col de Soudet and here's a profile of the climb.

90 kilometres to go

Breakaway: Pedersen, Van Aert, Campenaerts At 1:17: chasing group of 33 At 2:40: peloton

The three stage leaders are now on the lowest slopes of the Col de Soudet: HC: 15.2kms at 7.2%.

A shot of the three riders ahead

Reports of very poor visibility with fog at the top of the Col du Soudet

Remi Cavagna (Soudal-QuickStep) is putting in a lot of the hard yards at the front of the group of counter-attackers and the gap on the trio ahead is shrinking as a result.

Bike change for Tadej Pogačar at the foot of the Soudet. Riding solo, he's quickly back in the main group.

10 kilometres from the summit of the Soudet, former World Champion Pedersen starts to struggle

His work done, Cavagna swings off from the chase group and Alaphilippe moves to the front.

After his brief acceleration in the group of chasers behind Campenaerts and Van Aert, Alaphilippe drops back, and Lidl-Trek's Juanpe López is now picking up the pace.

In the main group, Matteo Trentin is doing the bulk of the work for UAE, and his pace has seen almost all of the sprinters dropped. After his difficult start to the stage, Fabio Jakobsen is struggling again.

Jakobsen has four teammates staying with him to try and help him through the remainder of the stage.

Temperatures aren't very cold today, but they've already dropped to 14ºC and there's still seven kilometres of climbing.

Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek), who suffered a bad crash early on stage 5, is dropped from the main group.

80 kilometres to go

Van Aert and Campenaerts have 15 seconds on the big chasing group and 3:07 on the main UAE-led peloton. Five kilometres to the summit.

Stake Vegard Laengen, Mikkel Bjerg, Rafal Majka are leading their team leader Pogačar at the head of the string. Trentin has done his work, but UAE also have Soler and Grosschartner ahead in the break.

It looks as if Soler is currently dropping back from the big group of counter-attackers to Pogačar.

Wout Van Aert's climbing pedigree is more than well established, but don't forget for all he's got some major time trialling chops, Campenaerts is also no slouch when the road steepens as well. In the Dauphiné, he went on a long break on the second last stage through the Alps and led the mountains classification for a day.

2.5 kilometres from the summit of the Soudet, Van Aert and Campenaerts have been brought back. 3:10 the gap.

Acceleration by Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), and then Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroen) goes over the top and moves away.

Gall was a winner of a mountain stage in the Tour de Suisse, and briefly the race leader as well, so he's got the pedigree for this kind of move.

Gall's attack, a kilometre from the top of the Soudet, is rewarded with a gap of 20 seconds.

Visibility is atrocious here, as the riders head into a major fog bank.

Felix Gall (AG2R-Citröen) crosses the summit of the Col de Soudet at the head of the race and moves into the provisional lead of the mountains ranking.

Felix Gall takes 20 KOM points, ahead of Dani Martínez who claims 15 and Ciccone 12.

The head of the race drops back out of the fog on the descent of the Soudet and Gall is caught up again by his pursuers.

Van Aert, dropped near the summit of the Soulet, is now catching up as well.

It's a broad, fairly well-surfaced descent for now.

Alaphilippe is 23 seconds back, but slowly closing on the leaders. But the big question is if or when UAE and Jumbo-Visma will reel Hindley, currently in the break with a gap of 4:00, back in. The best placed GC contender at 22 seconds, the Australian is a former Grand Tour winner, don't forget, and if  he holds onto that kind of advantage  all the way to the finish, then it'd be a serious gamechanger in the Tour GC battle.

A shot of the break, with Hindley in third place, on the lower slopes of the Soudet

In the lead of the race: Benoot (Jumbo-Visma), Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Fraile (Ineos), Martínez (Ineos), Madouas (Groupama), Uran (EF), Chaves (EF), Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep), Haig (Bahrain Victorious), Hindley (Bora), Buchmann (Bora), Ciccone (Lidl), Berthet (AG2), Gall (AG2R), Jorgenson (Movistar), Muhlberger (Movistar), Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech).

52 kilometres to go

Krists Neilands, the only Israel-Premier Tech present, tries a move from the break just as Chris Hamilton (DSM-Fermenich) regains contact at the back.

Still to come

Km 124.8: Climb - Col d’Ichère -  Cat.3:  4.2kms at 7%

Neilands quickly opens up a gap on lone counter-attacker Van Aert of some 25 seconds.

Various attempts in the chasing group to try and bridge across to Neilands, and finally it's a move by Van Aert and Alaphilippe that goes clear.

Neilands heads onto the Col d’Ichère: Cat.3: 4.2kms at 7% with 18 seconds on Van Aert and Alaphilippe. 

Race situation

Breakaway: Neilands At 16 seconds: Van Aert, Alaphilippe At 38 seconds: Hindley group At 3:44: UAE-led bunch

The UAE-lead bunch have now cut a minute off the Hindley group on the flatter segment of terrain between the foot of the descent of Soudet and the Ichère. But there's still three minutes and it remains to be seen what happens when the road steepens again - which it will shortly.

In the Hindley group, AG2R-Citroen's Clément Berthet is putting in the hard work on the front for his teammate and provisional mountains leader Felix Gall. Omar Fraile (Ineos Grenadiers), a former Tour stage winner, is also lending a hand.

Krists Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech) leads over the Cat. 3 Col d'Ichère with 25 seconds advantage on Van Aert and Alaphilippe.

On the descent of the Col d'Ichère, Van Aert and Alaphilippe have finally caught up with Neilands. But the Hindley group is just 16 seconds behind.

Amidst all the logical talk about Hindley and what he can do in the break, it's worth also remembering that Dani Martínez (Ineos Grenadiers), having had a rough start to the race and currently 15 minutes down overall, looks to be back in the stage-hunting game.

Shortly coming up: the Col de Marie Blanque. 'Only' 7.7 kilometres long, but with a brutally steep final four kilometres.

Fraile  (Ineos-Grenadiers) and AG2R-Citröen's Berthet and Aurelien Paret-Peintre are leading the group of chasers, which has swelled to 21 riders, but which will surely shrink again fast on the Marie Blanque.

The three stage leaders (Alaphilippe, Van Aert, Neilands) have reached the foot of the Marie Blanque -  Cat. 1: 7.7km at 8.6%.

In the UAE-led group, Marc Soler is pushing hard on the front. There's still 2:45 between the Hindley group and the main peloton.

Maximum speed in the group of chasers and in the main peloton, as Fraile pulls the break back into touch with Van Aert, Alaphilippe and Neilands and UAE give it everything behind. The gap stays stable at 2:47.

Van Aert is dropped from the front group.

Fraile swings over in the breka, and Berthet keeps pushing on for AG2R teammate Gall.

Alaphilippe is also dropped and the lead group is down to just six riders. Notably Hindley still has Buchmann, the German National Champion and a top-five finisher in the Tour a few years back, with him.

Gall goes for it four kilometres from the summit and Hindley is the only rider who can follow him. They have 2:28 on the bunch.

Hindley comes through to the front and works with Gall. He knows there's a yellow jersey could be out there for him.

In the peloton, Soler drops back, and now it's Felix Grosschartner who's doing the work for UAE. The gap on Hindley, though, remains at 2:30 for now.

Just 20 riders in the main group, as Majka takes over from Grosschartner for UAE.

Bernal reportedly in difficulties in the yellow jersey group. Jumbo-Visma move to the front. 

Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) also suffering.

Van Aert and Sepp Kuss are accelerating in the yellow jersey group. Just 10 riders in the front group.

Van Aert swings off and Adam Yates, the race leader, is reportedly not looking good.

20 kilometres

Hindley attacks 1.5 kilometres from the summit.

Adam Yates, yellow jersey, is dropped, as is Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos). 

Only Sepp Kuss, Vingegaard and Pogacar in the GC group now.

The gap between Hindley and the Vingegaard/Pogacar group is down to 1:48

Hindley powers on alone. Just a kilometre of climbing to go now.

Attack by Vingegaard, who drops Pogačar. Vingegaard is taking the Tour by the scruff of the neck at the first opportunity.

Vingegaard is already out of sight for Pogačar. A huge attack.

Just 300 metres to the top for Hindley. Vingegaard is sweeping up numerous riders from the early break.

Hindley crosses the summit of Cote de Marie-Blanque in first place, but his pursuers are close behind, and Vingegaard is only 1:09 back.

Pogacar, meanwhile, is already 41 seconds back on Vingegaard. 

Kuss has now caught up with Pogačar, who is plodding along steadily and who crosses the Marie Blanque with 38 seconds disadvantage on Vingegaard. 

15 kilometres to go

Hindley has less than a minute on Vingegaard.

The situation

Lead: Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgohe) At 46 seconds: Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroen) At 59 seconds: Jonas Vingegaard group At 1:49: Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates)

Vingegaard and co. are closing on Gall and will be looking to chase down Hindley if they can. Quite apart from the stage win and distancing Pogacar, there are time bonuses at stake here.

Pogacar meanwhile is limiting the gap on Vingegaard to a minute. It's not the end of his Tour bid by a long shot, but as things stand, after such a great start to the Tour for UAE, it's a serious defeat nonetheless.

Pogačar is descending with just Kuss for company, who  - logically - is not going to come through to help limit the gap.

The Vingegaard group, also containing Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) catches Gall and the Dane asks Gall for some help. He doesn't get a positive response, but Ciccone comes through for a few metres. Vingegaard, in any case, hardly needs any help at this point - he's flying. 

Four kilometres to go

Hindley has 42 seconds advantage. It's going to be tight.

Pogacar is joined by a much larger group including yellow jersey Adam Yates. His time loss on Vingegaard has now risen to 1:15. 

Vingegaard is powering on at his front group, even if the stage win is out of his grasp now.

Hindley is inside the final barriers and still has 38 seconds. It's flat all the way now to the finish.

Hindley is within sight of his first Tour stage victory, but there's no sign of him dropping his pace to celebrate. 

Hindley crosses the line to take the stage and the yellow jersey.

Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) wins stage 5 of the 2023 Tour de France

Ciccone takes second, about 32 seconds back, and Gall is third. No time bonus for Vingegaard, who's fifth, but he's taken a big step towards a much bigger prize today.

Tadej Pogačar crosses the line over a minute down on Vingegaard. A very different outcome to how the Tour's last finish in Laruns played out for him.

This is Hindley's first ever Tour de France, and it could hardly have gone better for the 2022 Giro d'Italia winner so far. As he memorably said in last year's Giro, he's "not here to put socks on centipedes, mate."

And here's a shot of Jai Hindley crossing the finish line

Some words from Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) stage winner and new leader of the Tour de France: "I was sort of improvising out there and enjoying some bike racing and I just managed to find myself in that group. I really enjoyed it out there today." "It's really incredible, and I have no words. The guys in the radio were screaming about just riding to the line and I couldn't really hear so much what was happening. I wanted to gain as much time as possible  and also the stage and I found myself in the yellow jersey. So that's pretty cool too. As for possibly going for the win, Hindley says, "I didn't really know what to expect. It's my first Tour and it's hard to come here with such massive ambitions already. But for sure I wanted to come here and be competitive and have some form of success. I've just won a stage of the Tour de France mate - this one's for them, my girlfriend, everyone that's supported me. I'm really thankful for that."

And here's the top 10 on the stage, courtesy of FirstCycling

And here's the new GC, again via FirstCycling . There have been a few changes...

Some words from Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), fifth on the stage and second overall,  but looking well on track to fight for a second straight Tour: "We didn't have to pull in the bunch which was good for us, then on the final climb I felt good, and I said to Sepp [Kuss] to go to the front to start pushing and he did, then I attacked." "I just felt good, and then I looked at myself, and if I felt good then I'd try to attack." As for how much of a blow this is to Tadej Pogačar and his rivals, Vingegaard said,  "you have to ask them, but I know Tadej, he never gives up, it'll be a fight all the way to Paris." 

And here's the moment when Jonas Vingegaard crossed the line at Laruns.

Some words from Tadej Pogačar, who remains in the Best Young Rider's jersey despite his defeat: "I lost my legs a little bit in the last 500 metres of the climb and I think every day now it's going to be...I feel good, so I hope I will feel better in the next days on the bike when we go full gas." Regarding earlier in the stage and why they let Jai Hindley get such a big gap, Pogačar explained that "it was a bit hectic over the small climbs, everybody wanted to go in the breaks and there was this one moment when we couldn't close the gap immediately. A big group went away, it was not the best, but we were still going good. Jai could take the yellow but we hoped for a better result in the final climb in the main peloton." "Now I know my limits, but my motivation is pretty high, and we can go 'day by day', pretty strong."

Pogačar was not the only UAE Team Emirates rider to suffer on the first big mountains day of the Tour. Here's a photo of Adam Yates coming home in 15th place, and who lost the overall lead after four stages today.

Our full report on the stage, complete with gallery and analysis, can be found here: Tour de France: Jai Hindley wins stage 5 as Vingegaard drops Pogacar in Pyrenees

Pogačar wasn't the only former Tour de France winner who had a tough day on Wednesday. 2019 champion Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) completed the course more than three minutes down and is now 20th overall.

Quite apart from Jai Hindley taking over as GC leader, in the secondary classifications, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) remains in first place in the points, Felix Gall (AG2R-Citröen) moves into top spot in the mountains competition, Pogačar is  still ahead in the Best Young Rider's rankings, and Jumbo-Visma are still in control of the teams.

So what's next? Running from Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque for 144.9 kilometres,  stage 6 of the Tour de France on Thursday is the second one in the Pyrenees and has the mid-race ascent of the Tourmalet, the most formidable ascent of the entire mountain range, as the main challenge. It then concludes with the long, grinding ascent to Cauterets. Oh, and it has nearly 4,000 metres of vertical climbing, so it is almost certainly even tougher than stage 5, particularly as it's the second straight day in the mountains.

There are numerous questions to be answered on Thursday, starting with whether Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) can hold onto the lead. He has a good advantage over Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and the Australian's already excellent mountain credentials have been amply reconfirmed today. While he did take the lead from a break and he won't exactly be able to fly under the radar at all tomorrow, as a former Giro d'Italia winner and runner-up, he knows what it takes to defend a top spot in a GC race. Beyond that, it's clear that - as Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) predicted pre-race -  Vingegaard is once again the main reference point.  Whether Vingegaard wants to try and sink the Slovenian and his other rivals immediately or whether he's playing a longer game and, rather than attack again, is happy to let Hindley and Bora-Hansgrohe soak up the pressure, remains to be seen. 

Yet another question concerns Pogačar. He's lost time, but is very much not out of contention. Can he bounce back in the Pyrenees, or does he need more time to find full race form before trying to counter-attack. If the  2022 Tour (and the rest of his career...) is anything to go by, the Slovenian won't be slow to chance his arm if there's any opportunity to test his rivals.

That wraps it up for Cyclingnews live coverage of stage 5, but we'll be back on Thursday for stage 6. Meantime continue to check out the site for news, analysis and other updates throughout the evening.

Mittwoch, 5. Juli 2023 5. Etappe: Pau - Laruns (163 km)

Stand: 06.06.2023 14:28 Uhr

Profil und Einschätzung - die 5. Etappe der Tour de France 2023 im Überblick

Einschätzung : Schon seit ein paar Jahren fahren die Tour-Organisatoren sehr erfolgreich die Taktik, gleich von Beginn der Rundfahrt an für spektakuläre und abwechslungsreiche Etappen zu sorgen, bei denen die Favoriten auf den Gesamtsieg höllisch aufpassen müssen. Am fünften Tag auf dem Weg von Pau nach Laruns steht nach etwa 80 Kilometern der mächtige Anstieg auf den Col de Soudet im Streckenprofil. Über rund 15 Kilometer geht es auf eine Höhe von 1.540 Meter mit einer durchschnittlichen Steigung von über sieben Prozent. Von den Favoriten wird sich hier keiner absetzen, aber alle müssen gleich einen guten Kletter-Rhythmus finden, um sich keine Zeitrückstände einzuhandeln. Es warten bis zum Ziel weitere Kletterpartien, der imposanteste Anstieg ist der hinauf auf den Col de Marie Blanque, der etwa 20 Kilometer vor dem Ziel beginnt. Nach der Abfahrt wird es eventuell eine Ausreißergruppe sein, die die letzten sieben flachen Kilometer nutzt, um sich auf den Sprint um den Tagessieg vorzubereiten.

Saturday 22 July: Stage 20 - Belfort - Le Markstein Fellering, medium mountains, 133.5 km

Despite failing to regain the yellow jersey he won in 2020 and 2021, Tadej Pogacar  ended his Tour de France on a high note.

In his last Tour de France mountain stage before retirement, home favourite Thibaut Pinot went on a solo attack to the delight of the French fans.

But the climbing specialist was unable to stay in front with first Tom Pidcock and Warren Barguil catching him before Pogacar made his bid to bridge the gap.

Overall race leader Jonas Vingegaard covered the move with Felix Gall , and the three forged clear on the closing Col du Platzerwase climb.

As things became tactical at the front, the Yates brothers - Adam and Simon - made it a lead group of five.

Vingegaard made his bid for the stage win with 250m to go, but Pogacar was too strong this time with the Dane losing second to Gall on the line.

Pinot received a hero's welcome as he crossed the line in seventh place.

Matej Mohoric denied Kasper Asgreen a second consecutive win at the 2023 Tour de France after a thrilling photo-finish sprint in Poligny.

The two riders emerged from a three-man breakaway and outsprinted Australia's Ben O'Connor, with Mohoric narrowly beating Asgreen to the finish line.

Throughout the 172.8km stage, there were numerous fragmented attacks across the field, leading to an intense pursuit among different breakaway groups in the final 20km.

Overall leader Jonas Vingegaard finished with the main peloton and kept his seven-and-a-half-minute lead on Tadej Pogacar in the general classification (GC) with just two stages remaining

Thursday 20 July: Stage 18 - Moûtiers - Bourg-en-Bresse, flat, 184.9 km

Kasper Asgreen surprised the sprinters and claimed stage 18 of the Tour de France after a long day in the breakaway.

Following several mountain stages in the Alps, a flatter stage awaited the peloton on Thursday. A breakaway of four rider with Kasper Asgreen , Jonas Abrahamsen , Victor Campenaerts, and later Pascal Eenkhoorn managed to just stay clear of the sprinters that were breathing down their necks on the finish line.

Asgreen of Denmark proved to be the fastest of the riders in the breakaway, and he secured his team Soudal Quick Step their first stage win of this year’s Tour de France.

Jonas VIngegaard held on to the leader's yellow jersey and maintains his 7:35 advantage to Tadej Pogacar .

Wednesday 19 July: Stage 17 - Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc - Courchevel, high mountains, 165.7 km

Felix Gall claimed a dramatic queen stage of the Tour de France 2023, where Jonas Vingegaard cracked Tadej Pogacar to gain more than five and a half minutes on the Slovenian. The Dane is now seven minutes and 35 seconds clear in the overall lead, and looks very likely to win his second consecutive Tour de France.

The stage winner Gall attacked his breakaway companions with six kilometres remaining of the final climb Col de la Loze. Simon Yates tried to chase down Gall, but the AG2R Citroën Team rider managed to maintain a small gap to the Brit, and he crossed the finish line solo.

The general classification leader Vingegaard dropped Pogacar 7.5 kilometres from the summit of Col de la Loze, and while the Slovenian tried to limit his losses, last year’s winner did what he could to gain as much time as possible. His lead seems unassailable with four stages remaining.

Sunday 16 July: Stage 15 - Les Gets les Portes du Soleil - Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, mountain stage, 179 km

Wout Poels took the first Tour de France stage win of his career, as he crossed the finish line alone at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc on stage 15.

Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar fought another alpine duel, but neither rider could get the better of the other, and they crossed the finish line together.

The yellow leader’s jersey therefore remains with Vingegaard. His advantage to Tadej Pogacar is 10 seconds.

Carlos Rodriguez claimed the biggest victory of his career, marking the second consecutive win for his team INEOS Grenadiers, on stage 14 of the 2023 Tour de France after crossing the finish line alone in Morzine.

Tuesday 11 July: Stage 10 - Vulcania - Issoire, medium mountains, 167.2km

Pello Bilbao of Bahrain-Victorious claimed the first Spanish Tour de France stage win in five years as he outsprinted his breakaway companions in a thriliing finale on stage 10.

Prior to the sprint finish, Krists Neilands of Israel-Premier Tech was caught just three kilometres from the finish line after the Latvian tried to go solo 30 kilometres earlier.

Several riders from the breakaway attacked in the final, where Bilbao broke free with Georg Zimmermann of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty. Ben O'Connor of AG2R Citroën Team managed to bridge accross right before Bilbao launched his sprint.

Neither Zimmerman nor O’Connor could respond, and the 33-year-old Spaniard could take his first-ever Tour de France stage win. A victory he dedicated to his former teammate Gino Mäder, who tragically lost his life last month after a crash at the Tour de Suisse.

In the general classification, Jonas Vingegaard crossed the finish line alongside the other favourites, and he retains his 17-second advantage over Tadej Pogacar in second place. Bilbao advanced from 11 th to fifth position in the overall standings.

The iconic finish at Puy de Dôme , a 13.3 km stretch at 7.7% average gradient, returned to the race for the first time since 1988.

The stage was forecast to be a battle between overall leader Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar but it turned into a heartbreaking loss for Matteo Jorgenson. The U.S. rider who was stung by a wasp and needed to be attended to by the race doctor with 72km to go, produced a brave 50km solo effort and was caught 450m from the finish by Canada's Michael Woods.

Meanwhile, Pogacar gained eight seconds on Vingegaard.

Saturday 8 July: Stage 8 - Libourne - Limoges, hilly, 200.7km

Mads Pederson held off triple stage winner Jasper Philipsen and Wout van Aert to clinch stage eight of the Tour de France in 4:12:26.

Van Aert had looked to be in a position to take the stage but was forced to apply the brakes after getting blocked by his own Jumbo-Visma teammate Christophe Laporte . The Belgian was able to recover to catch third.

Earlier in the race, joint record holder for stage wins Mark Cavendish was forced to abandon his 14th and expected last Tour after he was caught in a crash with 63km to go.

The Manx Missile appeared to have injured his shoulder after a touch of wheels in the peloton forced him off his bike and onto the tarmac.

It's been a heartbreaking 24 hours for Cavendish who was denied a record win yesterday (Friday) after suffering a mechanical issue in his sprint showdown with Philipsen.

In the GC, Jonas Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey, while Great Britain's Simon Yates slid two places into sixth following his crash with just 5km of the race left to go.

Friday 7 July: Stage 7 - Mont-de-Marsan - Bordeaux, flat, 169.9km

Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck got his hat-trick, as he claimed his third sprint victory on stage 7 of the 2023 Tour de France.

The points classification leader won ahead of Mark Cavendish of Astana Qazaqstan Team and Biniam Girmay of Intermarché - Circus - Wanty.

A breakaway tried to challenge the peloton for the stage win, but it was inevitable that the sprinters were going to battle it out in the end.

The GC favourites, including Jonas Vingegaard , crossed the finish line in the peloton, and the Jumbo-Visma rider retained the yellow leader’s jersey.

Thursday 6 July: Stage 6 - Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque, high mountains, 144.9km

Tadej Pogacar of UAE Emirates won the mountainous stage 6 in the Pyrenees ahead of reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard , who took over the leader’s jersey.

The first part of the stage was dominated by Jumbo-Visma and Vingegaard, who put pressure on the penultimate climb Col du Tourmalet. First, overnight leader Jai Hindley  was dropped by the pace of Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma).

Shortly after, Vingegaard attacked on climb, and only Pogacar could follow. The Dane’s teammate Wout van Aert got into the early breakaway and was waiting on the descent to pilot his captain into the final kilometres of the last climb - Cauterets-Cambasque.

Defending champion Vingegaard attacked again on the final climb with 4.5 kilomtres to the finish, but Pogacar stayed in his wheel. Two kilometres later, the Slovenian opened up a gap to the Dane. The two-time Tour de France winner managed to stay and claim his tenth Tour de France stage win.

In the GC, Vingegaard now leads by 25 seconds to Tadej Pogacar in second place.

Wednesday 5 July: Stage 5 - Pau to Laruns, high mountains, 162.7km

General Classification podium contender Jai Hindley of BORA-Hansgrohe claimed the first mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France. He also took over the leader’s yellow jersey from Adam Yates . Australian rider Hindley had sneaked into a big breakaway, where he attacked on the last categorised climb, Col de Marie Blanc. Hindley managed to maintain a gap to the GC favourites to take his first ever Tour de France stage.

Behind the stage winner, reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard had dropped two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar and others on the last steep climb, and the Dane started the final descent with a 40-second advantage to the Slovenian.

Vingegaard crossed the finish line in fifth place, 34 seconds behind Hindley but gained more than a minute on his biggest rival for the overall win, Pogacar. Last year’s winner moves up to second place in the GC, 47 seconds behind Hindley, who was awarded 18 bonus second on the stage. Pogacar is in sixth place, 1:40 behind the leader’s jersey.

Tuesday 4 July: Stage 4 - Dax to Nogaro, flat, 181.8km

Jasper Philpsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck sprinted to his second consecutive stage win on stage four of this year's Tour de France. In a close sprint finish, the Belgian threw his bike at the finish line to win right ahead of the Australian Caleb Ewan (Lotto Dstny).

A few crashes on the final kilomtres did not change anything among the GC favourites. Adam Yates crossed the finish line within the peloton, and the UAE Emirates rider retained the yellow leader's jersey.

Favoritter og analyse

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tadej Pogacar

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mattias Skjelmose

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jonas Vingegaard, Jai Hindley

⭐️⭐️ Simon Yates, Pello Bilbao, Thomas Pidcock

⭐️⭐ Ben O'Connor, Michael Woods, Romain Bardet

Nøglepunktet

Col de Marie Blanc. Den benhårde stigning har sin top med bare 18 kilometer til mål. Marie Blanc stiger med 8,6 procent i gennemsnit, men på de sidste 4 kilometer er vi oppe omkring 11 til 12 procent.

Dagens dansker

Med 3400 højdemeter er det en dag for klatrerne, og jeg tror, at vi får en offensiv Jonas Vingegaard at se. Jeg tror, at han vil lægge pres på Pogacar og de andre favoritter.

Betydning for Vingegaard

Det er ikke Tourens hårdeste etape, men den er bestemt heller ikke nem og ligetil. Før Pogacars styrt i Liège-Bastogne-Liège havde jeg den holdning, at Jonas ikke skulle ud og prøve at sætte Pogacar og de andre klassementsfavoritter under pres så tidligt i løbet.

Men med uvisheden om Tadej Pogacars form vil jeg helt bestemt mene, at Jumbo-Visma og Jonas skal teste ham af.

Det bliver formentlig et udbrud, der holder helt til mål og kører om sejren. Men det bliver også en hård og vigtig dag for alle klassementsrytterne.

Som jeg nævnte før, så tror og håber jeg, at Jonas og Jumbo-Visma vil gå til den og prøve at vinde tid på Pogacar. Han kommer formentlig ikke ind til Touren i sin absolutte topform, efter at han brækkede sit håndled i Liège. Derfor skal Jumbo-Visma og de andre klassementshold teste ham af allerede i dag og se, hvor han står formmæssigt.

Det vil kræve, at de får en stærk rytter med i morgenudbruddet, som kan være forpost for Vingegaard, hvis han sætter de andre favoritter op ad Col de Marie Blanc. Det er en svær taktik, men de skal helt klart forsøge.

Jeg mener faktisk, at Jumbo-Visma er ret heldige med at have Pyrenæerne allerede i de første dage, så de kan lede efter huller i Pogacars panser. Og ser de svaghedstegn, har de den ekstremt hårde 6. etape at bygge videre på.

Rytterne starter i Pau, som ofte er enten en start- eller målby i Tour de France. Den ligger for foden af Pyrenæerne, og når man starter eller slutter i Pau, betyder det næsten altid, at der venter en hård dag i bjergene.

Tour de France 2024: Trikots und Titelträger

Um die folgenden vier Trikots geht es bei der Tour de France:

• Gelbes Trikot: Das Gelbe Trikot gibt es seit 1919 und wird vom Führenden der Gesamtwertung (Zeitwertung) bzw. dem Tour-Sieger getragen. 2023 ging das Trikot an Jonas Vingegaard (Dänemark/Team Jumbo-Visma).
• Grünes Trikot: Das Grüne Trikot trägt der beste Sprinter. Es wird seit 1953 über die Punktewertung vergeben. 2023 ging das Trikot an Jasper Philipsen (Belgien/Team Alpecin-Deceuninck).
• Gepunktetes Trikot (Bergtrikot): Rote Punkte auf weißem Hintergrund – das ist das Trikot für den Führenden der Bergwertung, die es seit 1933 gibt. Das Trikot wird aber erst seit 1975 vergeben. 2023 ging das Trikot an Giulio Ciccone (Italien/Team Lidl-Trek).
• Weißes Trikot: Dieses Trikot wird vom besten Jungfahrer im Peloton gefahren. Als Jungfahrer gilt bei der Tour, wer nicht älter als 25 Jahre ist. Dieses Trikot wird – von einer Pause in den Jahren 1988 und 1989 abgesehen – seit 1975 vergeben. 2023 ging das Trikot an Tadej Pogačar (Slowenien/UAE Team Emirates).

Tour de France 2023: our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages

Inspiration

Cycling Tourism Nature and Outdoor Activities Sporting Activities Mountains

Reading time: 0 min Published on 4 December 2023, updated on 15 April 2024

The most famous cycle race in the world, the Tour de France will be taking to the skies once again this year, as the 3,404km and 21 stages will take in all 5 of France's mountain ranges! The Pyrenees, the Auvergne volcanoes, the Jura mountains, the Alps and the Vosges massif... The peloton has plenty of pedalling to do and plenty of climbing to do. The grandiose landscapes, the high altitude finishes and the dizzying descents promise to be emotional highs. To experience the highs (and lows) of the Grand Loop, saddle up with our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages.

From Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque, the Pyrenees take centre stage

After 3 stages on the Spanish side, welcome to the French Pyrenees! First there's Bayonne and the Basque country, Dax and its thermal baths, Pau and its beautiful castle where King Henry IV was born. And then there's Tarbes, with its breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, its palm-lined streets (yes, yes!) and its gourmet markets. The riders of the 2023 Tour de France will need a lot of courage to tear themselves away from this gentle way of life and tackle the climbs of the Aspin and terrible Tourmalet cols . The reward for all this climbing is a finish on the Cambasque plateau, overlooking the charming resort of Cauterets, in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, where the Pic du Midi is enthroned. Want to cool off? Try the hike to the peaceful Lac d'Ilhéou . In a green setting with magnificent views and waterfalls, picnics and swimming...

The Puy de Dôme, a feast for the eyes in Auvergne

The ascent of Puy de Dôme, the undisputed star of the Auvergne, will be one of the highlights of the 2023 Tour de France! The youngest and highest volcano in the Puys chain has not featured on the itinerary for 35 years. Taking on this fearsome and majestic peak and finishing with a 360° view over the gentle rolling hills of the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d'Auvergne is sure to motivate many a rider! But did you know that you can also climb this peaceful giant by mule track or on board the Panoramique des Dômes, a picturesque little cogwheel train? In just 15 minutes, you'll be transported to an altitude of 1,465 m, with the 80 volcanoes of the Puy range and the Limagne fault (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site at your feet. To complete a stage that's full of fireworks, the Vulcania Park is not far away! Who can beat that?

Breathtaking escapes in the Jura

Expect to fall under the spell of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne! Just 1 hour from Lyon and the Monts du Beaujolais, this small town in the Ain département, from which the Tour de France 2023 peloton will set off on 14 July, is a delightful medieval town. With its pink stone houses, flower-bedecked bridges and old market hall housing one of France's most popular traditional markets, it is also the gateway to the Dombes region, a paradise for fish farmers and birdwatchers with its landscapes of water and ponds. Take advantage of this area on foot, by boat or, ideally, by bike (it's flat!), before taking to the heights of the Montagnes du Jura , just a stone's throw away. The Pyramide du Bugey, from the top of which you can see Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva, is a must-see. The Tour de France riders attack it via the Col du Grand Colombier. At top speed. Take your time, the panorama is well worth it!

In the Alps, between lakes and legendary passes

It's doubtful that the riders will enjoy the view of Lake Geneva as they take their first pedal to the metal in the Alps at Annemasse on stage 14 of the Tour de France 2023. We recommend this one, though, as well as the view of Lake Annecy and its turquoise waters. Then it's time for a series of twists and turns and climbs to the legendary passes of the Alps, including the famous Col du Feu, an unprecedented climb for the peloton. At an altitude of 1,000 metres, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, the stage finish in Morzine won't dampen the spirits of those who love nature. In summer, the little village resort in the Alps is an ideal playground for lovers of outdoor activities : a stroll along the Dérêches river, swimming in Lake Montriond, canyoning or via ferrata... the hardest thing will be to choose.

From Gets to Saint-Gervais, Mont Blanc in your sights

For the first time since its creation, the Tour de France will start from Les Gets. Well-known to mountain bikers (the World Championships were held there in 2022), the pretty Alpine resort will kick off a 15th stage during which you'll need to have plenty of breath. The Col de la Forclaz-Montmin is on the programme. So allow yourself a break at its belvedere for a bird's-eye view of Lake Annecy before setting off again for Saint-Gervais, at the foot of Mont-Blanc. If you want to reach the highest peak in the Alps, this village resort, with its well-preserved heritage and traditions, is the ideal place to stop. And its thermal baths, renowned for the many benefits of their waters, set the well-being at the summit in a magnificent green setting.

Courchevel, star of the Alps

The regulars call it Courch' and they come and go summer and winter as connoisseurs, just like the Tour de France caravan which is visiting the Savoyard resort for the 4th time. Welcome to the pinnacle of top-of-the-range skiing in the Alps, at the heart of the Three Valleys ski area. Courchevel tops the list not only for the size of its ski area (Méribel and Val Thorens are its famous neighbours) but also for its range of hotels (no fewer than 5 mountain palaces , from the Apogée to the Cheval Blanc, not forgetting the K2 Palace, Airelles and the Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges) and restaurants. So, with its 6 hamlets and the surrounding area, the resort has a lot to offer. Take a selfie at the top of La Saulire, take a stroll down to Lac de la Rosière, cycle down the Bike Park, spend the night in the Lacs Merlet refuge or hike through the heart of the Vallée des Avals... You're going to love it!

Full steam ahead in the Vosges

Between the Lorraine plateau and the Alsace plain, the Vosges massif lives up to its reputation: a perfect blend of nature, wide open spaces, traditions and local produce, crafts and fine cheeses. Between the Grand Ballon d'Alsace and the Petit Ballon, via the famous Col de la Schlucht, the Tour de France 2023 will be taking a break from the normality of the mountains, with a new finish on the slopes of the Markstein, in the welcoming family resort of Marlstein Fellering. In the heart of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park , you can enjoy bucolic hikes, tobogganing in the mountain pastures, paragliding with a view, and mountain biking (or mountain bikes) in a landscape of absolute serenity. And for those with a sweet tooth, July is the peak of blueberry season (and the season for tarts in the farm inns).

And (finally) Paris.... and the Olympics!

Will the riders be in Olympic form for the triumphant finish on the Champs-Elysées on 23 July 2023? Just one year ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris , the route will certainly provide a magnificent prologue to the sporting event. Starting in Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, all the future Olympic venues in the Yvelines département will be on the peloton's final route. A gigantic loop will join the Colline d'Elancourt (where the mountain bike events will take place), the Golf National in Guyancourt and the Château de Versailles , which will host the equestrian events and part of the modern pentathlon competitions. A prestigious line-up of finishers for a Tour de France 2023 that's sure to be at the top of its game!

Preview of the 2024 Vuelta Femenina | No Van Vleuten, but spring nemesis for Vollering

A fter a turbulent spring classics season, where a strong returning Marianne Vos, a regal Lotte Kopecky, and a soaring Elisa Longo Borghini swept most of the victories away from the other top riders, it's time for the first major women's tour: the Vuelta! Demi Vollering, still seeking her first victory, is participating and will be especially determined to avenge her near-win in 2023. Who are the other favorites for the red jersey? And what course will the women face? IDLProCycling.com tells you everything you need to know!

Last year, the Vuelta Femenina was highly controversial. The fight for the red jersey was thrilling but was ultimately decided by a mistake from Vollering. Or was it due to unsportsmanlike riding by Annemiek van Vleuten? After a bathroom break at SD Worx, the leader of the general classification failed to catch up, and Van Vleuten took over the lead. She held it through a nail-biting battle of seconds on the legendary climb to Lagos de Covadonga and never relinquished it again. Vollering gained a lot of time back but fell just nine seconds short of clinching the red jersey.

Thus, Van Vleuten – as it now turns out – won her last grand tour. It was also her third overall victory in the women’s Tour of Spain. The race received a significant update in 2023, growing from five to seven stages, and this year it will expand to include an eighth stage. From 2015 to 2017, the Vuelta was a one-day race, known as the Madrid Challenge. It expanded to a two-day event in 2018 and 2019, before a third day was added in 2020. In 2021, there were four stages, and the following year, five.

Vuelta Femenina 2024: Route, times and favorites for the stages

Stage 1, sunday, april 28, 2024: valencia - valencia (team time trial, 16 km).

The first stage of the Vuelta is a perfectly flat team time trial. Around Valencia, teams will cover sixteen kilometers without any significant obstacles. In addition to being flat, this challenge is also not very demanding in terms of corners: halfway through, the riders make a U-turn and head back towards the beautiful center of Valencia. An ideal day for the strong teams and well-oiled machines in the peloton!

First team starts 3:56 PM

Last team finishes approximately 5:15 PM

Visma | Lease a Bike

SD Worx-Protime

Stage 2, Monday, April 29, 2024: Bunyol - Moncofa (118.3 km)

Stage two falls into the category of 'Spanish flat.' The riders start in Bunyol at an elevation of almost four hundred meters. A rolling course takes them to the finish line in Moncofa, facing only the Puerto de L'Oronet as a notable climb along the way. This climb is positioned far enough from the finish that the sprinters' teams are unlikely to want to lose the battle there. Thus, we are gearing up for a likely bunch sprint on day two, although some of the faster women might find themselves dropped...

79.9 km: Puerto de L'Oronet (5.9 km at 4.0%)

Start: 2:22 PM

Finish: approximately 5:15 PM

Charlotte Kool (dsm-firmenich PostNL)Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease a Bike)

Georgia Baker (Liv AlUla Jayco)

Stage 3, Tuesday, April 30, 2024: Lucena - Teruel (130.2 km)

Stage three could go several ways. The route is tougher than the second stage, with more elevation gain. The only official climb of the day is mid-race, but the vertical challenges don’t stop there. The course continues to undulate and roll towards the finish line in Teruel. Here, the sprinters who can handle a climb may battle it out. Alternatively, this could be a good day for breakaway riders, as the stage will be difficult to control. Multiple scenarios are possible!

68 km: Alto Fuente de Rubielos (6.0 km at 6.0%)

Start: 1:45 PM

Finish: approximately 5:16 PM

Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease a Bike)

Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek)

Emma Henderson (Visma | Lease a Bike)

Stage 4, Wednesday, May 1, 2024: Molina de Aragón - Zaragoza (142.3 km)

A stage that is almost entirely downhill is not something we often see! Yet, in the fourth stage, the riders descend nearly a thousand meters, with a few small bumps along the way. With no serious climbs to contend with, this stage is an ideal opportunity for the fast riders in the peloton. There's a good chance we'll see another battle between Marianne Vos and Charlotte Kool!

Start: 1:57 PM

Charlotte Kool (dsm-firmenich PostNL)

Stage 5, Thursday, May 2, 2024: Huesca - Jaca (113.9 km)

And here it is, the first mountain-top finish! We've had to wait four days for it in the women's race, but it immediately presents a significant mountain stage. The route includes two second-category climbs. Particularly, the final climb will make a difference. The ascent to Alto del Fuerte in Jaca is not long, but it is steep and will definitely create a divide in the GC. A first real opportunity for Demi Vollering? It certainly looks like it!

After 86 km: Alto del Monasterio de San Juan de la Pena (18.4 km at 3.0%)

After 113 km: Alto del Fuerte (3.0 km at 8.0%)

Start: 2:16 PM

Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime)

Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM Racing)

Stage 6, Friday, May 3, 2024: Tarazona - La Laguna Negra (132.1 km)

The day after the first uphill finish, there's another one right away. This one is much longer, though slightly less steep. We expect to see the same women leading the pack, as an average gradient of 6.7 percent can definitely create gaps.

132.1 km: La Laguna Negra (6.5 km at 6.7%)

Start: 1:41 PM

Stage 7, Saturday, May 4, 2024: San Esteban de Gormaz - Sigüenza (138.6 km)

One last chance for the fast women, though we may be thinking more of the punchers here. After a hilly day, the last few hundred meters run dirty. Timing is important to be able to compete for the day's victory here!

Start: 12:57 p.m.

Finish: approximately 4:15 p.m.

Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime)

Liane Lippert (Movistar)

Stage 8, Sunday, May 5, 2024: Distrito Telefónica - Valdesquí (89.0 km)

We wrap up the women's Vuelta with an ultra-short 89-kilometer stage, but it includes two significant climbs. The general classification could be completely overturned here. And who will take the stage win? Someone who has already lost some time? Or perhaps the most dominant rider in the pack?

33.2 km: Puerto de la Morcuera (9.1 km at 6.8%)

89.0 km: Valdesquí (12.8 km at 4.8%)

Start: 11:01 AM

Finish: approximately 1:30 PM

Favorites for the General Classification of the Vuelta Femenina 2024

In contrast to the men’s races, the dynamics in women's grand tours often point more clearly towards certain contenders. The gap in performance levels is still too significant to come up with a list of ten names that can win the Vuelta. However, let's attempt to identify some. The top favorite: Demi Vollering ! Despite a spring season without victories, she consistently showed she has the strength to compete for the win. With the climbs becoming longer and tougher, Vollering is expected to excel even more. She also benefits from the strong support of her team at SD Worx-Protime.

This holds true for Elisa Longo Borghini at Lidl-Trek, who was Vollering’s nemesis this spring. The Italian champion was stronger than Vollering at events like the Brabantse Pijl, and also demonstrated in races like Strade Bianche and Liège-Bastogne-Liège that she can match the Dutch rider on such terrains. How will she fare on longer climbs and as the tough days stack up?

Kasia Niewiadoma might be a key rival for Vollering. The Polish rider from Canyon/SRAM clinched her first victory since 2019 at the Flèche Wallonne, which must have given her a huge confidence boost heading into the grand tour season. Niewiadoma is undoubtedly one of the best climbers in the peloton. Can she compete with Vollering and Longo Borghini in the team time trial, in terms of the team?

Behind these three top names, there is a solid group of outsiders and long shots. Women who haven't yet proven they can win, but who may have the potential. Consider the young Ricarda Bauernfeind , a teammate of Niewiadoma and last year's stage winner at the Tour de France Femmes. Juliette Labous is steadily progressing at dsm-Firmenich PostNL, having achieved a second place in the 2023 Giro, for example. The French rider is definitely one to watch. Also noted are the always dangerous veteran Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (AG Insurance - Soudal Team) and the American climber Kristen Faulkner (EF).

Favorites for the General Classification of the Vuelta Femenina 2024, according to IDLProCycling.com

Top favorite : Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime)

Outsiders: Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) and Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon/SRAM)

«Ich habe schon einige Rennen gewonnen, aber noch nie eine Rundfahrt», sagt er glücklich, aber erschöpft. Er wurde 2022 spanischer Strassenmeister und siegt im gleichen Jahr bei einer Etappe der Baskenland-Rundfahrt. Ein Jahr später brach er sich das Schlüsselbein und musste mehrere Wochen pausieren.

Nach seiner Genesung startete er bei der Tour de France und gewann dort sowie auch bei der Tour of Britain je eine Etappe. Nun feiert der 23-Jährige seinen grössten Erfolg.

Für Carlos Rodriguez ist es der grösste Erfolg in seiner Karriere.

Bis zur Königsetappe war sein spanischer Konkurrent Juan Ayuso der Führende im Gesamtklassement. Am Samstag büsste Ayuso auf der Strecke von Saillon über Martigny nach Leysin aber 45 Sekunden ein. Deswegen musste er das gelbe Trikot seinem Landsmann abgeben und sich fortan mit Platz fünf in der Gesamtwertung zufriedengeben.

Das sind die Gewinner der Etappen

Prolog (Payerne): Maikel Zijlaard Etappe 1 (Château d’Oex – Fribourg): Dorian Godon Etappe 2 (Fribourg – Salvan / Les Marécottes): Thibau Nys Etappe 3 (Oron): Brandon McNultyam Etappe 4 (Saillon – Leysin): Richard Carapaz Etappe 5 (Vernier): Dorian Godon

Nasse Strasse führte zu einigen Stürzen

Carlos Rodriguez flitzte in der Königsetappe als Dritter ins Ziel und übernahm schliesslich dank der letzten guten Ergebnisse die Führung des Gesamtklassements. Für die letzte der sechs Etappen galt für ihn den Gesamtsieg ins Trockene zu bringen. Doch das war bei den nassen und rutschigen Strassen nicht einfach.

Er feiert seinen ersten Gesamtsieg.

Denn 21 Kilometer vor dem Ende der letzten Etappe stürzten gleich einige Fahrer in der Kurve und brachten. Der Schweizer Johan Jacobs vom Movistar Team war einer von ihnen. Am Schluss siegte nach 150,8 Kilometern der Franzose Dorian Godon. Er gewann bereits die erste Etappe der Tour de Romandie und schloss nun mit einem weiteren Sieg diesen Kreis.

Der Franzose Dorian Godon gewann die letzte Etappe.

Das Wetter war an der Tour de Romandie nicht wirklich in Stimmung. Denn die Temperaturen waren tiefer als angenommen. Die Athleten und die Teams wurden dadurch vor Probleme gestellt. Das Schweizer Radteam Tudor stellte ihren Fahrern Wärmepads zur Verfügung, um der Kälte in der Westschweiz entgegenzuwirken.

Voisard als bester Schweizer auf Platz 21

Mit Gino Mäder stand zuletzt 2022 ein Schweizer auf dem Gesamtpodest der Tour de Romandie. In der diesjährigen und 77. Ausgabe der Tour de Romandie gingen die Schweizer Fahrer aber leer aus. Als bester Schweizer auf dem Gesamtklassement war der Tudor-Fahrer Yannis Voisard auf dem Platz 21. Er vergab am Samstag die angepeilte Top-Ten-Klassierung.

Yannis Voisard wurde bester Schweizer.

Jan Christen als jüngster Fahrer zeichnete sich durch eine aktive Fahrweise für sein Team UAE aus. Er wurde 31. im Gesamtklassement. Swiss Cycling, die mit einer Auswahl des Nationalteams zum fünften Mal an der Tour de Romandie teilnahm, hatte kaum eine Chance, mit den besten Fahrern mitzuhalten.

Ex-Biathlet aus Deutschland feiert auf Podest

Hinter Rodriguez klassierten sich im Gesamtklassement die beiden Fahrer vom Team Bora-Hansgrohe, der Russe Alexander Vlasov und der Deutsche Florian Lipowitz. Für Letzteren ist dieses Podest speziell, so gehörte er früher dem Nationalkader der Biathleten an und wechselte die Skier mit dem Velo aus. Es ist eine starke Leistung des Deutschen.

2023 holte der Brite Adam Yates den Gesamtsieg. Er konnte seinen letztjährigen Sieg aber nicht bestätigen.
