Stage 5 Mc Ewen's Revenge

One day after being disqualified by tour officials, Robbie McEwen bounces back to beat Tom Boonen in an awesome sprint. Robbie's win today is of great significance to the green jersey race. Robbie himself conceded it will take a miracle for him to win but he showed Boonen can be beaten in sprint. Boonen is leading Hushovd by 29 points, O'Grady by 30 and Mc'Ewen by 45 points.
Looking ahead to tomorrow's race, a breakaway should win it, and with Armstrong's team willing to let anyone who's not a threat for the overall win getaway, lots of teams will look to send their riders in a long lonely adventure.
Brace yourself for an exciting stage 6 full of getaways.
