​ Vlad Watch – Tour de France Stage 5 🇧🇪 Vlad Watch – Tour de France 2026 Stage 5 Stage: Lannemezan → Pau (158.3 km) Stage Winner: Olav Kooij (Decathlon CMA CGM Team )  Vlad’s Stage Vlad Van Mechelen completed Stage 5 safely with the Bahrain Victorious team on what was the first true sprint stage of this year’s Tour. It was a controlled day for the peloton, with the sprint teams taking responsibility for the chase before a hectic finale in Pau.

Vlad Van Mechelen has made a very encouraging start to the 2026 Tour de France, especially considering this is his Tour debut. His highlights so far include: Stage 4: Van Mechelen was part of the 34-rider breakaway that gained enough time to contest the stage victory. It was a strong, aggressive ride that put him in the spotlight for much of the day.   Although he didn’t finish on the podium, making the decisive break in a Tour stage is a significant achievement for a young rider and shows that his team trusted him with the opportunity.   After the opening mountain stage (Stage 3), he was sitting 75th overall , having ridden solidly through the first difficult days of the race.   At just 22 years old , Van Mechelen is widely regarded as one of Belgium’s brightest prospects. His role at this Tour is primarily to gain experience, support his team, and take opportunities in breakaways rather than challenge for the general classification. Stage 5 is shaping up as a day...
