Former Giro d'Italia champion Jai Hindley seized the Tour de France's yellow jersey on Wednesday after claiming the first mountain stage of this year's race during an eventful ride in the Pyrenees.
LARUNS, France: Tadej Pogacar was expected to attack in the Tour de France's first mountain stage, yet it was defending champion Jonas Vingegaard who struck first, leaving the Slovenian worried and hoping he will regain his best form before it is too late.
Jai Hindley ripped up the script for the Tour de France as he took the yellow jersey from Adam Yates with a breakaway victory in the Pyrenees while Jonas Vingegaard left chief rival Tadej Pogacar in his wake when he set off in pursuit. All the talk in the build-up to this Tour has been on the battle between defending champion Vingegaard and two-time winner Pogacar, but Hindley slipped into a strong breakaway on the road out of Pau and so ensured the general classification had been ripped up 163 kilometres later in Laruns.
Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard won a tactical battle with key rival Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates as Australian Jai Hindley won Stage 5 of the Tour de France on Wednesday.
Hindley leads Vingegaard with the Dane pulling off a major coup on the final mountain and now has a 53-second advantage on Pogacar in the overall standings, which took a major shake up.
Never underestimate a Giro d’Italia winner – and on the first day in the Pyrenees, the big general classification favourites did just that, allowing debutant Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) into a dangerous break and paving the way for the Australia’s glorious win and the yellow jersey. Hindley, the 2022 Giro winner, now leads the Tour by 47 seconds on defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma).
Mathieu van der Poel once again proved his weight in gold after helping Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate Jasper Philipsen to another win on the Tour de France. A finish littered with crashes on the Nogaro motor racing circuit in Southwest France saw in-form Philipsen sprint to a second successive triumph while underlying his status as the fastest man on this year’s race.
NOGARO, France: After a fine start in the Spanish Basque country, Tadej Pogacar's UAE Emirates team are heading to the first mountain block of the Tour de France brimming with confidence and a possible edge over defending champion Jonas Vingegaard.
