Definitely the Stage, Maybe Yellow TdF23-29
Clearly Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) had come alone to the line in Laruns, celebrating as he cross the line. Now he had to wait to see just how much ground Jonas Vingegaard had gained on him from the summit of the final climb of the day. Only when the leader of Jumbo-Visma came in 34 seconds later did Hindley know that he is now the leader of the Tour. Thanks to the eight second time bonus at the top of the climb and another ten seconds for winning the stage, he has a forty-seven second lead over the defending champion of the Tour. Pogacar now sits a minute and forty seconds back (fifty-three seconds behind his main rival.) These placings set the stage for a very aggressive stage 6 tomorrow. The Cat 1 climb to the finish line while only tighten the screws on all of the hopefuls.
