Tour of the Basque Country

Rennes – Slovenian cycling star Tadej Pogačar won stage five of the Tour de France race on Wednesday. Last year’s winner of the Tour was 19 seconds faster than Stefan Küng from Switzerland in the 27.2-kilometre individual time trial between Changé and Laval Espace Mayenne. Slovenia’s other star, Primož Roglič, was 44 seconds behind, finishing seventh.

The member of the Dutch team LottoNl-Jumbo, who took silver in the 2017 UCI Road World Championships time trial, laid the foundations for the win in Saturday's fourth stage, which brought him the overall lead and a 33 second advantage in the overall standings.
