Stage 5 of the 2015 Tour de France wasn’t quite as crazy as Stage 4, but that’s not saying much. Two more abandons as the result of crashes left the peloton with 189 riders to come home. Armindo Fonseca of Bretagne-Séché Environnement wound up as the Point d’Appui in the general classification at the end of the day.
Nacer Bouhanni of Cofidis and Jack Bauer of Cannondale-Garmin had to leave the race after crashes. Bouhani hit the deck just 10 kilometers into the stage; Bauer went down with several teammates not long afterward.
Tony Martin remained in the yellow jersey at the end of the day, and Michael Matthews retained the Lanterne Rouge.
