Après un sprint massif lors de la 4e étape mardi, cette 5e journée offrait un parcours trop exigeant pour les purs sprinteurs de ce Tour d'Italie. Avec un final accidenté, ce sont des sprinteurs-puncheurs qui se sont disputé la victoire à Matera. Après une étape mouvementée, marquée notamment par une accélération de Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe), c’est finalement au sprint que Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) a décroché une troisième victoire. Le Danois a résisté de justesse au retour de Edoardo Zambanini (Bahrain Victorious). Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Cycling Team) complète le podium.

00:00I
00:18Helping to set him a good sprint at the very end
00:21Max Cantor being consoled by Maz Pedersen about his relegation perhaps don't know what they're talking about
00:26But that's what it looked like as the race gets underway and straight away
00:30We have an attack from Arkea B&B
00:32Hotels which makes perfect sense because they don't really have a rider for the finish today and Palti visit Malta
00:37Straight onto that no immediate counter
00:40Reaction yet, but VF group Bardiani surely have to be in the break if it's going to go today in slightly bigger number
00:47Where are those light blue jerseys?
00:49We are respecting them, you know, also Petilli give us indication that would be quite disappointing
00:54I can spot one of Bardiani guy riding a little bit in the mix really surprised. They haven't tried to go
01:01And Movistar I think he didn't want to get involved because he's
01:04Yeah, it's slowing slowing down. Yeah, I think he was there just to police things actually for Allah
01:10In fact Movistar were riding there as if they were one of the the the big teams trying to control
01:15Last time in Matera same finish a Frenchman won. Do you see it finishing this way today as well?
01:20Yeah, at least I will try. I felt quite good yesterday
01:26Yeah
01:27A good final yesterday and today I think we can go again today with 8x8
01:34Yeah, will be very hard, very active, but we are motivated
01:37Too hard for you?
01:39Yeah, maybe too hard. I think the climb
01:422.5k at 10% 25k from the finish will decide if I feel good or not
01:49But if I'm still there in the final, I think it's it's a very good final for me and
01:54Yeah, with the with the steep climb to 3k from the finish
01:58This is something I like and if I'm there, I will try to go for a stage win
02:03And it's exactly what Epis does. Oh, does he? Yeah, he's just where he was waiting there for Davide Bais to launch
02:11And he's going to back himself to come round Davide Bais
02:14These two riders will know each other particularly well
02:16Bais though, by the looks of it just about hanging on although he's beaten now and
02:20He's got the result that he wanted, Josue Epis and Lorenzo Milezzi just let them
02:25Here's my list, my nice list
02:26Yeah, look through the team so you can remind yourself of which teams are in the race
02:32EF
02:32Yes, I got it! Fantastic!
02:35That was something I was...
02:36What about you?
02:38Well, it's interesting isn't it because they...
02:39Yeah, Richard Canapaz had a relatively disappointing time trial
02:43Sergio Perez, but here comes Sebastian Vettel, he's there connect with Lewis Hamilton
02:48Vettel is alongside and ahead, Ocon is also ahead, there's more of Brisco into the cove
02:54You know what that is? Simply lovely
02:58300 meters still to go, Epis is forced into sprinting, that was smart by Milezzi
03:03He kind of...
03:05He bluffed Epis a little bit there and this is an opportunity for Davide Bais
03:09If he's got the legs to come off the slipstream of those smaller men but he can't
03:12And Epis holds on and...
03:14Do you take part in the Red Bull Kilometre for sponsorship reasons or for winning the Giro d'Italia?
03:22I cannot tell everything, let's be the secret
03:26Do you intend to go for time bonus again today or maybe every day?
03:31Boy, I mean...
03:34Obviously, hopefully not now, I don't really...
03:38Yeah, it's hard to do sprint after sprint so
03:40Just have to see how the opportunities will be
03:44There is an interesting sprint to do today, sometimes you're a sprinter at the finish of stages like this
03:49It's an uphill finish
03:50Do you go for the win?
03:51I mean, if I would have the legs, definitely, I mean, yes, it's...
03:55You know, the thing is when you have it, you have to take it, so we will see definitely how the stage will go
04:01Taking off the foot from the accelerator and they're slowing down
04:06As this is, uh, this is gonna be probably the sprint that we see
04:10He's going very early
04:13And, uh, not with any great deal of conviction or confidence, I don't think
04:17But he's got on the slipstream of Epis
04:19But once again, I think the, uh, smaller Italian has got enough
04:23Just double checking through his legs there that Davido Brais isn't coming around him and, uh, he takes first place, so...
04:27Be in the mix. Oh, Olaf Koi, so we were wondering, it could have been a day for him
04:33He won't. No, it won't. This early on
04:36That much is clear
04:39And there's still, what, 50 meters to go at this point, or is it 100?
04:43150. 150, so a nasty little sting in the tail of this climb
04:48If you look at the camera or, uh, the placement of the barriers, you can
04:51See how steep it is this little
04:55Oh, Malese, Malese can't quite believe what faces him, but look at the crowds
05:00The whole town has come out and Malese is suffering here
05:04Surely he is ripe to be picked off by Davide Baiz
05:07If Baiz has got the legs to come round the man from Movistar, he should have this
05:12He'll be motivated to take these three points
05:14Is there going to be a sprint for the line here? Baiz can do nothing
05:18The gradient is an absolute killer here, Malese hangs on
05:22Gets to the top, takes the three points with Baiz on his wheel
05:25Wow, that steep
05:26There we go
05:46Switching round and Roglic safest place is out front and indeed best form of defense can sometimes be attack
05:52And he's going to go for it, Vacek is here, Simon Yates, likewise, just bouncing on his toes at the moment
05:58Caden Groves is staying with it and famous Roglic, is he going to light it up right now?
06:022.4, it's a long way out, he's keeping the hurt on everybody, Vacek's staying with him, so is Pedersen
06:08Simon Yates there in the yellow, uh, trying to stay with it, Ciccone is still here
06:12It might well be for Ciccone today, possibly a better pick for Lidl Trek in a trade kit
06:18Roglic just eases off, lets Vacek come through, likewise Pedersen, Ciccone is still there, Simon Yates hanging on as well
06:25Few others, Caden Groves looks like he might have dissipated at the moment, let's wait and see, still there, but here we go
06:31When's he going to go? That's the big question, Vacek's still grinding it home here, Brian, 2.1 to go
06:37Pedersen is drifting now, this is a little bit too hard there, nice acceleration there from Primus Roglic, but he just made that effort, dropped back
06:45But look at the pink jersey starting to lose, but Vacek, I don't know if he knows that Mads Pedersen is drifting now, but he's setting the
06:52pressure at the front of this peloton now, he looks back, can't see where the pink jersey is, I don't think he realises
06:59They're all trying to get in the mix, but Pedersen somehow has battled back, and he's got his lead out man
07:04right where he needs him again, Vacek once more, Pedersen on his wheel, this looks unstoppable,
07:09Can anybody prevent him? Well, Vacek goes long now, Vacek now releases Pedersen, tilt Tom
07:16Pidcock on the wheel off, the Magliorosa, but Pedersen powering to the line, can he hold them all off?
07:22Pedersen, Tom Pidcock coming very close now, Pidcock against Pedersen, but Pedersen, all that strength, my word,
07:30That was close, who's got there? They looked down, Pedersen might just have edged them all out, there was a challenge there from Bahrain
07:37Victorious too, that was perhaps too close to call. Oh, Zambanini, I think it was Zambanini, it was Eduardo Zambanini
07:44He was a very close call, it seems like from everybody was running to Pedersen, it seems like he got the win, but we have to wait the confirmation
07:50want to win one? sure, let me say
07:56hey, bring, bring, bring, bring something
08:02did I win or win?
08:05I won?
08:05do you want?
08:06Sure, yeah, let me say
08:08I'm sorry
08:08let me say yes, please
08:10ok, confirm I did
08:12Yes, confirm
08:13god, man
08:14god, god
08:15How are you?
08:16How are you?
08:17Tragam is celebrating
08:19He wouldn't have imagined he'd be in the lead still with three stage victories and a very good
08:27chance as we'll see in a minute of another stage victory tomorrow into Napoli. Yeah it's he has a
08:35stellar beginning of the Giro d'Italia and as you said tomorrow it's another day they can search
08:40him quite well. Better than today. Better than today exactly. If there is possibly some limit to
08:48what he can is able to do I think we should we have to wait stage eight to see that's better than
08:56off the back. Here we are some champagne time for him I think today seems like even more pleased than
09:08the other victories I think this one was it cost him a lot of sweat and power in order to keep in
09:15touch with the peloton. Just a small detail today as well he um won both the intermediate well he
09:21didn't win the intermediate sprints but he beat everybody else at the intermediate sprints
09:26and on the second of those sprints he had to actually he had to work really hard for it as
09:31well like up against Jensen Plowride. Yeah he's actually demolishing all the all the
09:36hopes and uh yeah of each rider because uh like while uh all the sprinters were getting dropped he
09:43was still in contention and uh finally and ultimately having another victory.
09:56Good to see Damiano Caruso probably probably in his last year of racing up in the top 10 at the Giro d'Italia
10:02and very really good to see Tom Pitcock getting involved getting into the thick of a bike race actually
10:07today for the first time reminding us of his talent with a third place at the Giro d'Italia his first ever
10:12podium finish but uh Maz Pedersen continues in pink and shores up his advantage a fourth day in pink
10:20for Maz Pedersen and don't forget how close he came to defending that pink jersey in the individual time
10:26trial just one second between him and Primoz Roglic on GC at the end of that day had that gone the other
10:31way he would have worn pink the whole way so far. Yeah he's bossing uh all the ceremony awards he's gonna
10:40come back even after the Malia Rosa for yet another jersey. Yep
10:48picks up another Wolfie which would probably get lined up on the dashboard of the uh team car
10:53in yeah oh yeah it's right next to us don't realize that
10:56this is the GC that looks a lot like it did uh this morning except for the fact that Maz Pedersen has
11:09added 10 seconds on everybody so Primoz Roglic now back down to 17 seconds
