Peter Sagan sprints to stage five victory at the Tour de France

Peter Sagan delivered his 12th career Tour de France stage victory in Colmar as Julian Alaphilippe retained the yellow jersey for a third day.

Former world champion Sagan powered his way around Mitchelton-Scott’s Matteo Trentin and held off Jumbo-Visma’s Wout Van Aert in the final straight as the 175.5km stage from Saint-Die-des-Vosges was settled in a sprint finish.
