Jake Stewart sprints to Dauphiné win on stage five as Evenepoel holds lead despite fall
The British rider Jake Stewart won a sprint finish to triumph in the fifth stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné on Thursday as Remco Evenepoel held on to the race lead. Stewart claimed his first career victory in a World Tour race, edging the bunched finale ahead of Axel Laurance and Søren Waerenskjold after the hilly 183km run from Saint-Priest to Macon. 'That one feels good,' said the 25-year-old who finished fifth in Sunday's opening stage in Montlucon. 'The boys backed me … and the team backed me, they did an awesome job, so I'm just so happy that I could finish it off for them.' The Israel Premier Tech team managed to win despite the race retirement of their German sprinter Pascal Ackermann, who fell during the stage. 'It's such a shame with Ackermann, he crashed again today, and it was handed over to me there for the final, but it was also a really good day for him, so I'm gutted that he didn't get to contest the finish,' added Stewart. Evenepoel, who took the yellow jersey in Wednesday's time-trial, crashed in the final kilometre but was able to resume without difficulty and lost no time in the overall standings. 'There are no major injuries, just small scratches,' said the Belgian. 'I was coming out of the roundabout, I wanted to accelerate, and I slipped. My hands were slippery from the wet weather, so maybe I slipped off the handlebars or started pedalling too early.' Evenepoel is expected to battle with Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar for the overall victory in the Alps. Jonathan Milan, winner of the second stage in Issoire on Monday, was the favourite in the event of a bunch sprint. On the Côte des Quatre Vents – the final climb of the stage over 5.4km at a 4.6% gradient – the towering Italian resisted the acceleration of Mathieu van der Poel's Alpecin-Deceuninck teammates. But he paid for his efforts afterwards, only finishing fifth in the sprint, despite having been ideally placed by his Lidl-Trek team.
