Welcome to the 5th stage and today we take a small break from the GC fight and gives the sprinters a day to go for victory! Their schedule won't be busy the next two stages, so they can give it their all today and then recuperate in the next stages. Will it be a german win today or is it someone else turn to win?
Break of the Day: Gregory Hugentobler Ramon Sinkeldam Joshua Edmondson Jiri Polnicky Robert Bush Philip Lavery
With 36 km left and a gap on 2'55 the last KoM points are distributed
Hugentobler 11 pts Lavery 7 pts Sinkeldam 7 pts
With 5 km left the break still haven't been caught and Sinkeldam takes advantage of that with an attack!
He looks like to be a good contender, but behind him the sprinters are ready to take their chances!
Felline
Demare
Ciolek
Dockx
Vantomme
Roelandts

Van Stayen

Degenkolb
Holloway
Edmondson overtakes Sinkeldam and sets his way for victory! The rest is picked up by the sprinters and Demare leads out a hungry set of sprinters!
Demare makes an fantastic leadout for Ciolek and sets a way for the sprinters to ride for a stage win! Van Stayen opens up with Vantomme and Degenkolb
Degenkolb now is fighting along side Ciolek in a superhuman performance! Van Stayen and Roelandts might still have a chance!?
Ciolek picks the longest straw and looks like he is going to get his second stage win! Degenkolb might not have to worry for Van Stayen, but his german rival looks like to be the victor!
Gerald Ciolek wins the 5th stage of Deutschland Tour and pulls together a comfortable lead in the points standings and also takes back his leader jersey!
Degenkolb beats an unproven Van Stayen, which must not be satisfied with his former results here. Roelandts and Holloway takes the last spots in the Top 5.
