Mountain Madness: Tour de France Stage 5 Intensifies

Stage 5 of the Tour de France sees a fast start with multiple attacks, including one by Pierre Latour, but no breakaway manages to establish a significant lead. Fabio Jakobsen, still recovering from injuries, struggles to keep up with the pace. The stage features three climbs, with the Col du Soudet offering the most points. Tadej Pogačar, the defending champion, won a stage in Laruns in 2020 and will be looking to repeat his success. The stage is expected to be a challenging test for climbers and could impact the general classification.
