Criterium du Dauphine: Van Aert wins second stage in a row

The 24-year-old celebrated his second day win in a row in the mass sprint on the 201 km long fifth stage from Boen-Sur-Ligne to Voiron. The Irishman Sam Bennett from the German team Bora-hansgrohe came second ahead of the Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick-Step). Van Aert finished in the top three in four of the five stages so far.

The British Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) successfully defended the yellow jersey he captured the day before, four seconds ahead of the Belgian Dylan Teuns (Bahrain-Merida). In eighth place, 26 seconds behind, Buchmann from Ravensburg still has the best prospects of a top result in the overall ranking.

The four-time Tour de France winner Christopher Froome (Ineos) has now undergone surgery after his serious fall the day before. The 34-year-old Brit suffered fractures to his right thigh, right elbow, hip and several ribs in his training accident before the individual time trial and will miss the Tour de France (July 6-28) ( SportNews berichtete ).

The sixth stage with eight smaller mountain classifications leads on Friday over 229 kilometers from Saint-Vulbas to Saint-Michel-De-Maurienne. Finally, there are two more difficult high mountain stages on the program this weekend. The eight-day Dauphine is traditionally considered one of the most important preparation races for the Tour.
