Another win for Wout van Aert at the Criterium du Dauphine, but bunch leaves it late as Belgian wins Stage 5
A nailbiting finale in Chaintre ended with hearts broken in the breakaway, as a marauding peloton denied them mere metres from the line. Wout van Aert (Jumbo Visma) won by half a wheel from Jordi Meeus (Bora Hansgrohe) and Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) in third, to make it two wins and four top two finishes from five stages so far. Ten bonus seconds took the Belgian rider’s lead in the general classification to over a minute from Italian Mattia Cattaneo (QuickStep AlphaVinyl).
