Although there have been a few skirmishes between the favourites over the first four stages, today is the first day they really have to lay their cards on the table. Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and stage 4 winner Tadej Pogačar will all be wanting to make a statement and lay a solid foundation for victory in the all important stage five time trial.

Unfortunately a number of the big names have already lost a significant amount of time with Evenepoel being 58 seconds down and riders like Carlos Rodriguez even further back at 2.05 which means they will be under huge pressure to make amends.
