Tour de France, stage 5

The lumpy approach to the end of today's stage meant the sprint finish was contested by a mostly different cast of characters to yesterday. Peter Sagan (SNO) took the win and Greg van Avermaet was fifth for Lisa.

Julian Alaphilippe (RSR) finished in the leading group and so keeps the yellow jersey for another day. Sagan is now up to ninth overall, displacing van Avermaet who drops to tenth.

Sagan extended his lead on points and so will wear green again tomorrow. Van Avermat is still seventh on that classification.

Van Avermaet drops to fifth in the mountains competition and Alaphilippe is also down, in his case to eighth (of eleven).

Scores: RSR=6, SNO=6
LeTour: RSR=31, SNO=11
Totals: RSR=438, SNO=293
