Updates from the hilly 153.4km stage of the Tour Stage five report | Follow us on Instagram | Mail Luke Mont Ventoux looms ever closer – one of the hardest climbs in cycling will be tackled by the peloton on Friday – but today’s 153km trip from Montbrison to Tournon-sur-Rhône is much more than a transitional stage en route to the Giant of Provence.
