00:00 Jorgensen's looking for these bonuses, Demar is on the wheel, so is Pogacar in a yellow jersey.

00:05 On to stage five, the longest of this Paris-Nice.

00:17 After Taddei Pogacar seized control of the race yesterday,

00:21 today the fast men should take centre stage in Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux.

00:26 I don't think it's only one scenario and that's a sprint.

00:31 Mads Pedersen is one of just two sprinters to have won this week, along with Tim Mollier,

00:36 but there are plenty of others hoping to improve on their performances so far.

00:40 I'm sure there's a lot of guys that will try and get rid of the pure sprinters,

00:47 but we hope it's one sprint today.

00:50 And what do you have in mind for this sprint?

00:52 Cross the line first.

00:55 There are a lot of sprinters that haven't been able to sprint enough,

00:58 so we're going to adapt and do our best with Maes.

01:01 There's a lot to do, but now we have to be opportunistic,

01:04 and use the right cursor to be in the right place and keep the speed for the final.

01:09 The wind is set to play an important role today.

01:13 For most of the 212km between Saint-Symphorie-en-Sorcoise and Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux,

01:19 the riders will be battling a headwind,

01:21 meaning that, as Pedersen suggested, it's unlikely to be anything other than a bunch sprints.

01:26 But there is a late climb, the Cote d'Alarak,

01:30 where some of the sprint teams might try to thin out the competition.

01:33 There's a 30km boss to finish, but I think it's a very explosive start.

01:42 We'll have to create a good situation, and we're motivated to get through.

01:47 I think some teams will try to speed up, like Mathieu's and Matt's team,

01:54 but I think we're ready to respond to that.

01:57 Maybe it makes sense to go hard on the climb and then drop some other sprinters,

02:03 but if it's too much headwind afterwards, then it doesn't make a lot of sense.

02:07 So first we need to have our staff in front of us on the course

02:12 to tell us exactly what's happening after the climb,

02:15 and then we'll make a decision after.

02:18 Two riders got into the breakaway,

02:22 but they'd actually been caught by the time we got live pictures.

02:25 Sandy Dujardin, who lives locally,

02:27 and king of the mountains Jonas Gregar, who took 13 points over the early climbs.

02:32 Dujardin spent over 70km solo on his training road before being caught by the peloton,

02:37 who were cruising along at a modest 38km/h.

02:40 There was little to report after that until the intermediate sprint,

02:45 which came with just over 53km remaining.

02:48 No surprise to see UAE Team Emirates hitting the front for Pogacar,

02:52 but he wasn't the only one eyeing up those precious bonus seconds.

02:55 Here we go now, big sprint on the left-hand side.

02:59 Jorgensen's looking for these bonuses.

03:02 De Mar is on the wheel, so is Pogacar, and now Yellow Jersey.

03:06 De Mar is looking to mop these up.

03:08 Gordou is challenging Pogacar now.

03:10 Jorgensen on one side.

03:12 Oh, Pogacar can't get past.

03:13 Oh no, De Mar.

03:14 Here goes Gordou.

03:16 Gordou squeezes through.

03:17 Interesting tactics from Groupama, and Pogacar was not very happy with that.

03:23 The speed really starting to ramp up on the road to the Cote d'Alirac,

03:29 a climb of 4.5km at 4.3% that was going to test some of the fast men.

03:34 The teams with punchier sprinters moving to the front to try to make the race hard,

03:39 notably Jaco Alula for Michael Matthews and Trek Segafredo for Pedersen.

03:44 Shortly before the summit, Gregar appeared again,

03:47 seeking another three points in the mountains classification.

03:50 The down was completely unchallenged and completing a perfect day

03:55 by taking a maximum haul on this fifth stage, tightening his grip on polka dots.

03:59 And here it is, top of the climb, maximum points today for the king of the mountains.

04:08 Gregard will definitely be on the podium.

04:11 With 30 points.

04:14 In the end, there was no real damage done on the climb.

04:18 The sprinters all surviving and preparing to face off again in Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux.

04:23 The trains starting to form as they blasted their way into town,

04:27 but they had to be wary of a tricky roundabout just inside the final kilometre.

04:31 Ben Swift then tried his luck, but the sprinters were right on his tail.

04:37 Now it's the sprint. Pedersen opens up the sprint in the green jersey.

04:41 Pedersen all the way. Here goes Olaf Koi.

04:44 Koi and Pedersen through the centre. Is it going to be the win? It finally is.

04:50 Olaf Koi wins the stage of Paris-Nice. Stage five goes to Jumbo-Visma.

04:56 It's been a question of close but not so close.

05:01 Olaf Koi this season, but after six top four finishes in various races,

05:06 including this one, he finally has a first victory of 2023.

05:10 The 21-year-old Dutchman taking his 16th career win for Jumbo-Visma,

05:14 the second at WorldTour level.

05:16 Koi showing that he has what it takes to sprint with the best in the business.

05:20 It's really nice. I mean, I'm really happy.

05:27 I'm really happy to be here.

05:28 It's really nice. I mean, I've won a few races also last year,

05:33 but this is definitely the nicest so far.

05:36 I was a bit far in the Flamme Rouge, and then I took the left side of the roundabout,

05:42 which was, I think, a good choice. And then I came quite good in a good position.

05:48 And then Eduard Affini flew by and I was in the wheel of Pedersen.

05:52 And this time I was able to get out of his wheel.

05:57 Koi taking it ahead of the other two sprint stage winners this week, Pedersen and Moliere.

06:01 Matteo Trentin was fourth for UAE, with Max Kanter fifth,

06:05 and Brian Cocker the best placed Frenchman in sixth.

06:07 Pagacar didn't take a maximum haul at the bonus sprint for once.

06:14 Godo grabbing sixth with the help of Dumas to cut the Slovenian's lead to just six seconds.

06:18 Jonas Vingegaard is third at 46, followed by Simon Yates at 58.

06:24 With his second place today, Pedersen recovers the green jersey,

06:28 but it's very close in the battle for points.

06:30 Just five of them separating Pedersen, Koi and Pagacar.

06:33 Moliere and Matthieu's a little further adrift in fourth and fifth.

06:36 Gregar grabbed 16 points in the mountains classification,

06:44 increasing his lead to 18 over Pagacar,

06:47 but he will no doubt have to go back on the attack if he wants to take home that polka dot jersey.

06:52 Pagacar is very much in a league of his own when it comes to the youth classification,

06:56 comfortably clear of Matteo Jorgensen and Matthias Schjelmoza.

07:00 Kevin Vaucla is just a second behind the Dane.

07:02 Stage six is another long one, a punchy day of almost 200 kilometers

07:10 between Tauve and La Colse-sur-Luz, with five climbs on the menu.

07:14 It could be one for the puncher sprinters, the breakaway,

07:16 perhaps even an enterprising GC rider.

07:19 Do join us again on Friday to see how it unfolds and thanks for watching.
