PRIVAS (France) (Agencies): Julian
Alaphilippe lost the overall lead in the Tour de France to Adam Yates after
being handed a 20-second penalty for illegal feeding at the end of Stage 5, won
by Wouth van Aert today. Van Aert was fastest in the sprint at the end of the
183km ride from Gap that featured no breakaway, an almost unprecedented
scenario in normal racing conditions in the modern era. Alaphilippe finished
safe in the bunch but snatched a bottle about 17km from the line, breaking Tour
rules which state that feeding is illegal within 20km of the finish.
