Stage 5»Thizy-les-Bourgs›Chaintré(162.3km)
De 5e etappe van het Critérium du Dauphiné is een heuvelrace van 162,3 kilometer. De laatste top ligt op een kleine 13 kilometer van de finish.
Na een vliegende start in afdaling loopt de route vals plat op naar het eerste klimmetje van de dag. De Col des Ecorbans stijgt in 4,2 kilometer met een gemiddelde van 5,6%. De afdaling wordt onderbroken door een kort vals plat, maar is in totaal zo’n 15 kilometer lang.
De coureurs hebben er een kleine 50 kilometer op zitten als de tweede en zwaarste klim van de dag verschijnt. De Côte de Dun telt 4,9 kilometer en heeft een gemiddeld stijgingspercentage van 6,8%.
Er volgt een glooiende fase van een slordige 80 kilometer en dan is het zo zoetjes aan tijd voor de finale. Drie bescheiden klimmetjes kort na elkaar, waarvan de middelste niet gecategoriseerd is. Eerst de Col du Bois Clair, een heuvel van 2,7 kilometer à 3,7%, dan een vals plat van ongeveer 1,5 kilometer, en vervolgens de Côte de Mont-Brison. Die laatste is 1,8 kilometer lang en stijgt met 4,8%.
De drie oplopende stroken gaan vermoedelijk beslissend zijn of we wel/geen pure massasprint krijgen. Tot nu toe werd Groenewegen & co telkens gelost op de klimmetjes in aanloop naar de finale.
Vanaf de Côte de Mont-Brison is het nog een kleine 13 kilometer naar de finish in Chaintré. Dat begint met een afdaling en daarna loopt het eigenlijk ook nog licht af. Finale met hoge snelheid dus.
De eerste drie renners aan de meet krijgen 10, 6 en 4 bonificatieseconden, terwijl er bij de tussensprint 3, 2 en 1 seconden te verdienen zijn.
De 5e etappe van het Criterium du Dauphiné start om 12.45 uur en de race finisht naar verwachting rond 16.25 uur.

[inrng] the stage goes through the tiny hamlet of Le Guidon, literally “the handlebar”, a linguistic coincidence for a bike race. But there’s more to it as this is where Bernard Thévenet grew up. He was a choirboy in a village church and one day the priest brought forward the mass so that people could watch the Tour de France go past. A young Bernard went to see the race go by and he was hooked, telling L’Equipe: “The sun was shining on their toe-clips and the chrome on their forks. They were modern-day knights.” Several years on he got a racing bike, entered a local race and won at his first go which would be great, only he’d kept his plans to take part secret from his parents as they wanted him to stay working on their farm. They were shocked to spot his name in the race results in the local newspaper. Bernard got the president of the local club to persuade his reluctant parents so he could attend a second race. The rest is history.
Thévenet ended Eddy Merckx’s wins in the Tour by sacking him in the 1975 Tour on the climb to Pra Loup, although that year was also about Merckx losing. Thévenet proved it was no fluke when he won in 1977 again, as well as taking the Tour de Romandie, the Volta Catalunya, the Dauphiné and more during a solid career. But it wasn’t all so easy, in between the highs were lows where he blew up spectacularly in races and confessed at the time to using cortisone. It wasn’t a banned substance at the time but the abuse messed up his endocrine system. His confession at the time was written up as refreshingly honest even if he threw his team management under the bus, but he stayed loyal to the Peugeot team all this time. In retirement he became a team manager for a while, worked as a TV commentator, lent his name to a clothing brand and became the organiser of the Critérium du Dauphiné. In recent years has been an ambassador for the race to meet and greet sponsors and politicians where his likeable manner and ready smile must work its charms.
