THE ESSENTIAL
The 5th stage of the Tour de France will connect Lille to Arenberg-Porte du Hainaut (157km)
A mini-classic that will take up the very springtime hit of the cobblestones of northern France.
Nobody (except Wout Van Aert?) can win the Tour there, but many leaders can lose it.
Van Aert and Van der Poel are the big favorites for this unique stage.
The Belgian is still yellow jersey and green jersey.
Tadej Pogacar wears the white jersey and Magnus Cort Nielsen keeps his polka dot jersey
Obviously, we won't let you hang around empty-handed before the actual start of this live. Two papers to read. A look back at yesterday's stage, and another on the cobblestones.

Yo cyclixes!
I hope you're ready for a great day of cycling, because today is the cobblestones.
Nothing to do with Paris-Roubaix, since the sectors taken will be rather in very good condition and the stage itself is much shorter (about 150 terminals), but it's more than enough to shake the favorites of the Tour of France.
Tadej Pogacar just has to stay on his saddle to win the Tour.
Agile on his bike, he is quite capable of passing this kind of test feeling congested.
A little more familiar with falls, Primoz Roglic has the advantage of counting on Wout Van Aert, a great connoisseur of the place.
Long predestined to defend Roglic and Vingegaard on this stage, will the Belgian finally seek to consolidate his yellow jersey by fighting with Mathieu van der Poel for the stage victory?
>> See you at 3 p.m. for the big fight
