Stage 5 had been hyped as a big day for the first week of the Tour, and boy did it deliver! Early on, just Sector 10 and already teams and GC riders were in trouble of losing their strong positions. Sensing that they had a good opportunity for a stage win Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl went to the front with Kapser Asgreen and Michael Morkov. Asgreen had been mention as a potential winner of the stage so the team was doing what it could to get him across the cobbles first. On the Belgium team's wheels was Ineos-Grenadiers follow by about half of the peloton. The rest of those in the Tour were sprinkled in various chase groups over the next two kilometers. The crowds along the pave were treated to what they hoped for in the dust and sweat of the smaller Hell of the North.
