Alexander Kristoff wins the fifth stage of the Tour of Croatia

Andresen continues to scrape seconds

With only 22 seconds behind, Tobias Lund Andresen wanted to continue his close approach from the day before, and with success. With two intermediate sprints won as well as two small seconds snatched from the first, the Dane closed to 14 seconds of the current leader, Brandon McNulty. The DSM team rider, on the other hand, failed in fourth place in the final sprint and missed the podium, which could have brought him further bonuses. The event, which ends on Sunday with a flat stage, can be followed live on L’Equipe live.
