Cette 5e journée de Tirreno-Adriatico était réservée aux puncheurs, mais les favoris du classement général pouvaient également essayer de reprendre du temps à Filippo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers) avant l'étape reine samedi. A la surprise générale, Fredrik Dversnes (Uno-X Mobility) s'est imposé après avoir résisté au retour du peloton. Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) termine 2e devant Roger Adria (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe). Fillipo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers) encore très solide ce vendredi, reste leader.

00:00Is it your favorite stage of Tirreno Adriatico?
00:19Ah, that's a good question. I was looking forward to tomorrow's stage actually.
00:25But yeah, I think today's going to be tricky. There's a wind forecast, all crosswinds, cross-tail winds all day.
00:32A tricky final climb, although it is headwind to the finish.
00:36For sure, it's going to be a good day for racing, I think.
00:39What is the minimum achievement that you would be happy with at the end of Tirreno Adriatico?
00:45I think I want to equal or do better than last year, that's for sure.
00:50I think, yeah, if I can win a stage, that would be super.
00:53And then, yeah, try and get as far as I can in the GC.
00:56The pace is starting to pick up. We had a tough start because of the climbs.
01:01And there's many of them. It's just a series of spikes today.
01:04Very little flat land. We're either going up or down, it seems.
01:07And some of the inclines are very, very testy indeed.
01:10We've got just under 108 kilometers to go.
01:13But look at the gap, six minutes. It maxed out.
01:17He's obviously got us on comms.
01:19I think his team probably have.
01:23In fact, it's to be handed over. That's why it was left nice and handy.
01:28Down the season calendar, if you will.
01:32Price Pedersen not taking part today.
01:35Two Portuguese have flown home together, I imagine.
01:37Yu Liao and Rui Costa have said thank you very much.
01:42But we'll go for the Pastel de Nava somewhere else.
01:46I think that might be a little look around.
01:50Just to make sure he doesn't get rolled on the line.
01:52And there we go. He's taken it.
01:54Good lad. That's a rack of points as well.
01:57It's a decent climb, isn't it?
01:59It's 27 now, isn't it? He's got...
02:01Adds five to his 22 that he started the day.
02:03Good for him.
02:06Well, this is his finish line.
02:08If he scores this, another five points.
02:09That would take him to...
02:11There we go. 32 points.
02:13There's only 20 points available.
02:16That gives him a 21-point lead.
02:18Mathematically, he has now taken that jersey.
02:21But he's still tough.
02:23Well, there we are. The Scarponi fan club are here.
02:26Bless him.
02:28And they will take their twists and turns.
02:30What career he had.
02:32Yes, tragically lost a few years ago now, of course.
02:34But always remembered.
02:36Michele Scarponi.
02:40Tifosi just coming through.
02:42You would think they would let De Vries...
02:45No.
02:46There we go. They just continue to rise.
02:48Maybe De Vries just thought, I'm happy with this.
02:51It's not so much an overall play.
02:53Although...
02:54Oh, no.
02:56Eddie Dunbar's down.
02:58He's back up.
03:00But that's a big bang.
03:01Right on the coccyx, I'm afraid.
03:03He has torn his shorts.
03:04He's taken a big hit at the base of his spine.
03:06That is not nice at all.
03:08That is enormously unfortunate for Eddie Dunbar.
03:11He's got a burger on the base of his spine.
03:13And he knows that's not great.
03:17Oh, hello.
03:19Time to reach out for glory, isn't it?
03:21Time for a picnic.
03:22It certainly is.
03:24There's a good little attack here.
03:26Just checking over shoulders.
03:27See who else is being tempted.
03:28Nobody.
03:29And this is a bridge perhaps too far.
03:31900 metres to go for the break.
03:33To get on and up front.
03:35Meanwhile, rocking the ambition.
03:38Oh, hello.
03:39Is it your man?
03:40It looks like Carapaz.
03:41It is Carapaz.
03:42No, it's Chavez.
03:44Esteban Chavez.
03:45Decided to kick on.
03:47Just waiting to see who's a little bit further back.
03:49Esteban Chavez dangling out there.
03:51Well, you know, he does this occasionally.
03:54And this will be for himself.
03:57I think it's to actually go a little bit further up the road
04:01to see if he's trying to respond.
04:03This is great stuff from the former winner of this race
04:06and the Giro and the Vuelta.
04:08Nairo Quintana trying to tee himself up.
04:10And there's Rubio on the inside.
04:12Rubio on the radio here.
04:13Look at the face of Grosjean trying to bring back the Colombian.
04:16Yeah.
04:17And that's Rubio saying to Quintana, go.
04:19Go, go, go.
04:20Go for it.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Don't wait for me.
04:23Fluttering in the breeze.
04:24And it's now a Norwegian who's hammering his way up this climb.
04:27He's had a great season so far.
04:28He excels on the climb.
04:30And he is fighting.
04:31But he's still got two kilometres to go to the top of this climb.
04:34As they winch themselves up this.
04:36He's going to get there.
04:37Wow.
04:38This is amazing.
04:39In the brake all day.
04:41And everybody else.
04:42And there's still more chain issues, drive issues.
04:443K slow.
04:45Can't get it.
04:46That is a nightmare, I'm afraid, inside the 3K.
04:49So that will help him.
04:50But goodness me, he's going to make it home.
04:53Frederic de Fenyes is going to get this home.
04:56150 metres to go.
04:58Max is just going to take a big grinning picture of the man.
05:02Absolutely fantastic.
05:03Who's going to deliver.
05:04What an incredible day of racing.
05:06The breakaway make it.
05:08And fast Freddy has brought it home.
05:10It's by the places.
05:12And it looks like it's going to be van der Poel that takes it at the very last.
05:15The big man wearing number one.
05:17Finishes number two.
05:19Frederic, never look back.
05:21Is that the basic rule of cycling?
05:23Well, never give up.
05:25For sure.
05:26Had two pretty hard days.
05:30And cold days.
05:32So with this weather today, it turned out to be a good day.
05:35We tried to hit the breakaway.
05:37I was not sure if we could get the good gap because of my position in the general classification.
05:45But we managed and kept the work together.
05:48And in the final time, I just got from my sports director to go all in.
05:55And luckily it turned out to be good enough.
05:59When did you realise that it was going to be a win?
06:03500 metres to go.
06:05It was a pretty hard kicker up at the kilometre mark.
06:09So I wasn't sure until 500 metres to go.
06:13So I'm really, really happy.
06:15Your first win in the world tour.
06:17What does it mean for you, for your team, who is a wildcard team?
06:20Well, for me it means everything.
06:23It's for sure the biggest win of my career so far.
06:27And to be able to take the step to the top in a world tour race, that's a dream come true.
06:32No doubts about that.
06:36Filippo, firstly, what happened to your bike?
06:39I took a hole in the middle of the way and I lost the chairing.
06:44I tried to get his back into the frame and the pedal.
06:49In the end, I destroyed the chain and nothing.
06:57I tried to survive inside the 3k and that's it.
07:02Before that, were you happy to climb with the best climbers?
07:07Yeah.
07:08When is the moment to follow the big dog, I follow.
07:13I think I did an amazing performance today.
07:17Tomorrow is the last big effort.
07:19Of course, we'll see if the legs could be strong for fighting with the climbers or not.
07:29Do you see even more tonight the possibility of winning Tirreno-Adriatico than this morning?
07:35Yes, I speak with Geraint Thomas.
07:38I ask a little bit of his impression.
07:41He said, try to fight, you don't have nothing to lose.
07:44Then you have one week for recovery.
07:46If you have pain in the legs next week, you can do one rest day more and you can recover.
