General Classification Standings after Stage 5<\/p>\n
The overall classification has not changed in Pau for the top riders, but it wasn’t a calm finale. The crash-marred sprint finish saw a split in the peloton outside the final 5 kilometers. It had been unclear who was caught up, aside from the yellow jersey Torstein Traeen, who risked losing it to Sean Quinn. The gap between the two remains 28 seconds, something that will be put to the test tomorrow in Gavarnie. Mathias Vacek remains third.<\/p>\n
Jonas Vingegaard<\/a> also rushed through the finish line supported by Visma, looking to cut his potential losses after having been caught in the split. The Dutch team succeeded, and Vingegaard did not lose time to his main rivals. He remains tied in time with Tadej Pogacar<\/a>, 7:53 minutes down on Traeen.Ramses Debruyne, Remco Evenepoel<\/a>, Isaac del Toro<\/a>, Juan Ayuso, and Paul Seixas complete the Top 10, which may see important changes tomorrow on the first high-mountain stage of the race.Rnk\u25bc\u25b2RiderTeamTime1-\u00a0Tr\u00e6en\u00a0TorsteinUno-X Mobility16:32:072-\u00a0Quinn\u00a0SeanEF Education – EasyPost0:283-\u00a0Vacek\u00a0MathiasLidl – Trek3:504-\u00a0Poga\u010dar\u00a0TadejUAE Team Emirates – XRG7:535-\u00a0Vingegaard\u00a0JonasTeam Visma | Lease a Bike,,6-\u00a0Debruyne\u00a0RamsesAlpecin – Premier Tech8:067-\u00a0Evenepoel\u00a0RemcoRed Bull – BORA – hansgrohe8:168-del Toro IsaacUAE Team Emirates – XRG8:179-Ayuso JuanLidl – Trek8:2010-\u00a0Seixas\u00a0PaulDecathlon CMA CGM Team8:4111-\u00a0Lipowitz\u00a0FlorianRed Bull – BORA – hansgrohe8:4612-\u00a0Martinez\u00a0LennyBahrain – Victorious9:0213-\u00a0Johannessen\u00a0Tobias HallandUno-X Mobility9:0414-\u00a0Van Wilder\u00a0IlanSoudal Quick-Step9:1015-\u00a0Pidcock\u00a0TomPinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team9:1516-\u00a0Carapaz\u00a0RichardEF Education – EasyPost9:3817\u25b21\u00a0Skjelmose\u00a0MattiasLidl – Trek9:4318\u25b21\u00a0Piganzoli\u00a0DavideTeam Visma | Lease a Bike10:0819\u25b21\u00a0Van Eetvelt\u00a0LennertNetcompany INEOS10:1220\u25bc3\u00a0Arensman\u00a0ThymenLotto Intermarch\u00e910:1321-\u00a0Jegat\u00a0JordanTotalEnergies10:2122-\u00a0Higuita\u00a0SergioXDS Astana Team11:1623-\u00a0Uijtdebroeks\u00a0CianMovistar Team11:1724\u25b21\u00a0Garc\u00eda Pierna\u00a0Ra\u00falMovistar Team11:3425\u25b21\u00a0Voisard\u00a0YannisTudor Pro Cycling Team11:43Points Classification Standings after Stage 5<\/p>\n It was an important day for the overall classification, as it was the race’s first bunch sprint and the first day to deliver full points. Mads Pedersen remains in the lead, but his rivals have now soared up the classification. Biniam Girmay has risen to second with 79 against Pedersen’s 143 – a solid lead, but one that may shorten over the coming week.<\/p>\n Max Kanter’s intermediate and final sprints have seen him gather massive points, and with 77, he is now third. Jasper Philipsen now has 72, and Olav Kooij, who has notably not chased intermediate sprints, climbed to fifth with the 70 he won. Tim Merlier sits a little below with 55.<\/p>\n Rnk\u25bc\u25b2RiderTeamPnt1-\u00a0Pedersen\u00a0MadsLidl – Trek1432\u25b24\u00a0Girmay\u00a0BiniamNSN Cycling Team793\u25b242\u00a0Kanter\u00a0MaxXDS Astana Team774\u25b25\u00a0Philipsen\u00a0JasperAlpecin – Premier Tech725(new)\u00a0Kooij\u00a0OlavDecathlon CMA CGM Team706\u25bc4\u00a0Poga\u010dar\u00a0TadejUAE Team Emirates – XRG557\u25b234\u00a0Merlier\u00a0TimSoudal Quick-Step558\u25bc4\u00a0Simmons\u00a0QuinnLidl – Trek459\u25bc6\u00a0del Toro\u00a0IsaacTeam Visma | Lease a Bike4410\u25bc5\u00a0Vingegaard\u00a0JonasUAE Team Emirates – XRG39King of the Mountains Standings after Stage 5<\/p>\n Alex Baudin sprinted to capture 1 point this Wednesday afternoon.
