The Cro Race saw a sprinter fest once again this Saturday, and Alexander Kristoff soared to his second stage win of the week.
The fifth stage of the Croatian race was a day for the sprinters and didn't have many difficulties. The stage was shortened due to bad weather, and here two riders went up the road including Tim Marsman and Jelle Johannink.
The moves were short lived and didn't have much traction, eventually all riders who gave it a shot were caught and the leadouts would start taking form. Uno-X Mobility had a super leadout, with numbers but also a lot of speed in the final kilometers and did the perfect job.
The Norwegian team did the perfect leadout and Alexander Kristoff soared to victory. He outsprinted Oded Kogut and Giovanni Lonardi for the stage win, with Brandon McNulty arriving safely in the peloton.

- Didn't like to see Kopecky and Wiebes attacking after a big crash in the leading group. Poetic justice in the end. Ferrand-Prevot hit the deck in that same crash. And in Catalunya UAE also increased the pace at the front of the bunch when some of the favourites went down. No bad karma in this case though.heinz12-04-2025
- How about Martin being given Aranburu's time? Was this a flat stage? The 3k rule in this case did more harm than good.heinz12-04-2025
- There is always a defamer...poor people.
maria2024202412-04-2025 - Welten is 28 years old, Tadej 26 years old. The gap of 2 years is a lot among teen, obviously Welten was consistently more mature.maria2024202412-04-2025
- Chapeau to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot on a very nice victory. She is a deceivingly powerful rider, and it was impressive how she slowly pulled away like she did, pushing quite a big gear. It was an entertaining race to watch, and a pleasant surprise in the end.
santiagobenites12-04-2025 - Michael Jordan was cut from his high school baseketball team. but there are stories of Tadej racing and winning as a youth. this is a stupid article.mij12-04-2025
- I wouldn't be so sure of that.....our latest model runs have light patchy rain across du Nord into the early evening. Rain isn't overly heavy overnight but enough to possibly cause utter chaosslappers6612-04-2025
- Apart from a few outliers, in athletics, premature developers who held age group records didn’t get very far later and most athletes who became world stars never had early age records, I’d be surprised if in cycling it was any different.Mistermaumau12-04-2025
- You can enjoy it by all means but will you also take responsibility for the consequences of encouraging it through that? Because we all pay the price of the way it affects people, moods, behaviour, illness, violence, crime, social degeneration, etc, no real good comes of it or what do you feel there is to gain from it other than experiencing a momentary emotional high some might not be able to achieve any other way?Mistermaumau12-04-2025
- There's no reason we can't live in the real world while enjoying the doped up sport.Veganpotter12-04-2025
