Stage 5 of the Tour de France is the first day in the high mountains, and Jonas Vingegaard alongside Jumbo-Visma have set the race on fire as he rode away from Tadej Pogacar at the Col de Marie Blanque.
The 7-kilometer long climb featured incredibly steep gradients towards it's summit, where Sepp Kuss set up a move from the defending champion. With just over 19 kilometers to go, Vingegaard launched his first attack of the race, dropping Pogacar immediately on the road. Ultimately, the attack ended up with 1:04 minutes won by Vingegaard at the finish line to the main GC group.

Jonas delivered when it mattered. Pogacar was flashy, overconfident, wasteful in the 1st 2 stages.

- Regarding one point in the article: Vingegaard and Pogacar raced against each other at Monuments in the past - Il Lombardia and Liege, twice each from 2020 to 2022. Pogacar's results are 3, 1, 1, and 1, while Vingegaard's are 84, 28, 14, and 16, respectively in the same races. But Vingegaard hasn't raced a Monument since 2022.RidesHills01-04-2025

- Completely agree, and that’s in cases where the team even reaches the rider before he/she decides to get up by themself and start chasing. No protocol or rule will solve this perfectly, this is not a sport with a referee putting everything on hold whilst checks are made.Mistermaumau01-04-2025
- Is it just me or are the opinions of retired pros from certain parts of Northern Europe becoming increasingly Pythonesque? “In our day we had sandpaper chamois and barbed wire for bar tape when we rode Paris Roubaix, it used to be a proper race”……..I’m not even that big a Pogacar fan and I hope he does it just to shut them up.Jezla01-04-2025
- True, but then we've always known that real safety isn’t an objective, just enough for the facade not to crumble.Mistermaumau01-04-2025
- Oh, this sounds more spicy than I thought. I didn't watch the event.
