Cycling: On the fifth day of the Tour of Colombia, there was finally no victory for the Quick-Step Floors team. With Rigoberto Uran (Team EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale) stage win, leader Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Floors) lost the leader's jersey to stage runners-up Nairo Quintana (Movistar). As a quartet, the two arrived at the destination of Salento with Sky pilots Egan Arley Bernal and Sergio Luis Henao.

Uran defeats his compatriots
After a small foretaste of mountains on the fourth stage of the Tour of Colombia, things really got down to business today. On the 163,7 kilometer course from Pereira to Salento, things went uphill, especially towards the end. The last three kilometers were steeply uphill and should, as expected, separate the wheat from the chaff. Also as expected there was a fight between the Colombians. The Colombian flag is waved in the top six places in the results lists, with four of them finishing at the same time. In the hill sprint proved Rigoberto Urán as the fastest of them. Behind secured himself Nairo Quintana second place Egan Arley Bernal and Sergio Luis Henao. In the overall standings, however, Nairo Quintana has taken the helm. He is three seconds ahead of today's stage winner, four ahead of Henao and nine ahead of Bernal.
