The 2012 Tour de France continues Thursday with Stage 5, which will begin in Rouen before riders trek 196.5 kilometers, finishing the stage in Saint-Quentin. Fabian Cancellara enters the day wearing the yellow jersey, with pre-race favorite Bradley Wiggins in second place.

Stage 5 is expected to to be a bunch sprint with likely very little change in the leaderboard, barring a crash or other unexpected event. Peter Sagan will look to increase his lead in the chase for the green jersey with his third stage victory.
