Three-time world champion has just won stage five of this season’s Tour de France which started last Saturday.
The Bora-Hansgrobe champion, Peter Sagan, was able to fight and hold off Brahrain-Merida’s rider Sonny Colbrelli in an intense sprint right after the steepest uphill rise of the Tour so far closing his second stage victory in this season’s race.
Yesterday’s fifth stage saw Quick-Step’s Philippe Gilbert pick up bonus some seconds leaving Thomas down one place to general classification, only five seconds off first place, Van Avermaet.
Four-time Tour de France winner Froome is now in the 15th position, 57 seconds behind yellow jersey while Mitchelton-Scott’s Adam Yates sits only five seconds behind Froome in 16th place.
