Sprint finishes and intermediate sprints will drive the points competition, breakaways can quickly transform the mountains standings and the white jersey will develop alongside many of the same stages that decide the general classification. Each update will show the latest standings after the day’s racing and highlight the important changes across all four competitions.<\/p>\n
General Classification Standings after Stage 5The overall classification has remained the same over the fifth day of racing. After a stage in the mountains, this Tuesday’s stage featured some climbing but there were not attempts to disrupt the current order. The sprinters had their way, and so Tadej Pogacar<\/a> held on to his lead of 3:21 minutes over Primoz Roglic. Enric Mas closes out the podium currently, 3:32 minutes behind.<\/p>\n Sepp Kuss, Oscar Onley, Richard Carapaz, Felix Gall, Mattias Skjelmose, Jarno Widar and Jay Vine currently close out the Top10.<\/p>\n Rnk\u25bc\u25b2RiderTeamTime1-\u00a0Poga\u010dar\u00a0TadejUAE Team Emirates – XRG11:26:012-\u00a0Rogli\u010d\u00a0Primo\u017eRed Bull – BORA – hansgrohe3:213-\u00a0Mas\u00a0EnricMovistar Team3:324-\u00a0Kuss\u00a0SeppTeam Visma | Lease a Bike3:445-\u00a0Onley\u00a0OscarNetcompany INEOS3:456-\u00a0Carapaz\u00a0RichardEF Education – EasyPost3:507-\u00a0Gall\u00a0FelixDecathlon CMA CGM Team3:578-Skjelmose MattiasLidl – Trek4:069- Widar JarnoLotto Intermarch\u00e9,,10-\u00a0Vine\u00a0JayUAE Team Emirates – XRG4:1111-\u00a0M\u00fchlberger\u00a0GregorDecathlon CMA CGM Team4:3412-\u00a0Debruyne\u00a0RamsesAlpecin – Premier Tech4:4413-\u00a0Torres\u00a0PabloUAE Team Emirates – XRG5:2714-\u00a0Tejada\u00a0HaroldXDS Astana Team5:3015-\u00a0Berthet\u00a0Cl\u00e9mentTudor Pro Cycling Team6:0216-\u00a0Brenner\u00a0MarcoGroupama – FDJ United7:3217-\u00a0Ruiz\u00a0IbonEquipo Kern Pharma8:3718-\u00a0Bisiaux\u00a0L\u00e9oDecathlon CMA CGM Team8:4419-\u00a0Tulett\u00a0BenTeam Visma | Lease a Bike,,20-\u00a0Omrzel\u00a0JakobBahrain – Victorious9:1721-\u00a0Martin\u00a0GuillaumeGroupama – FDJ United9:2522-\u00a0Nordhagen\u00a0J\u00f8rgenTeam Visma | Lease a Bike9:2623-\u00a0Hirt\u00a0JanNSN Cycling Team9:4724-\u00a0Rodr\u00edguez\u00a0Cristi\u00e1nXDS Astana Team9:5125-\u00a0Pickering\u00a0FinlayTeam Jayco AlUla9:54Points Classification Standings after Stage 5<\/p>\n The points classification was the most affected one today, albeit with some interesting tactics. Ethan Hayter attacked the race to win the intermediate sprint, hence capturing points whilst Wout Van Aert rode to second behind. But Hayter would not contest the final sprint and Van Aert scored very few points, meaning both riders – despite being the only ones with that ambition – have not truly moved up the standings.<\/p>\n Tadej Pogacar, who hasn’t tried obtaining points, continues to lead the green jersey standings with 82 points, ahead of Matthew Brennan who has 60. Neither have also contested the intermediate sprint. Christophe Laporte notably sits fourth ahead of Van Aert, despite not being the chosen man for the intermediate sprints nor the team’s designated sprinter.<\/p>\n Rnk\u25bc\u25b2RiderTeamPnt1-\u00a0Poga\u010dar\u00a0TadejUAE Team Emirates – XRG822\u25b21\u00a0Brennan\u00a0MatthewTeam Visma | Lease a Bike603\u25bc1\u00a0Hayter\u00a0EthanSoudal Quick-Step574\u25b24\u00a0Laporte\u00a0ChristopheTeam Visma | Lease a Bike505\u25b21\u00a0van Aert\u00a0WoutTeam Visma | Lease a Bike486\u25bc1Miquel PauBahrain – Victorious307\u25b215 Laurance AxelNetcompany INEOS288\u25bc4\u00a0Bisiaux\u00a0L\u00e9oDecathlon CMA CGM Team259\u00a0Meeus\u00a0JordiRed Bull – BORA – hansgrohe2510\u25bc3\u00a0Tarling\u00a0JoshuaNetcompany INEOS25King of the Mountains Classification Standings after Stage 5<\/p>\n Tadej Pogacar remained in the lead of the KOM classification, with no major changes in a day that didn’t feature much climbing.
