Rosa wins 5th stage, Henao takes lead

ARRATE, Spain— Diego Rosa of Italy completed an impressive solo ride to win a mountainous fifth stage of the Tour of Basque Country Friday, while Colombian Sergio Henao took over the lead. 
Astana rider Rosa separated from an early breakaway group and stayed well in front of the pack for over 100 kilometers (62 miles) while crossing the route's eight summits. He provisionally finished in 4 hours, 19 minutes, 19 seconds. 
The 27-year-old Italian savored his second career victory by stopping just before the finish of the 159-kilometer (98.7-mile) ride and lifting up his bike up before he stepped over the line. 
Henao and Alberto Contador crossed next, more than three minutes later, closely followed by defending champion Joaquim Rodriguez and Thibaut Pinot. Those four front-runners have a shot at winning the race in northern Spain on Saturday's sixth and final stage, a 16.5-kilometer (10.25-mile) time trial around Eibar. 
Samuel Sanchez was sixth Friday, ahead of Nairo Quintana and Lawson Craddock. 
Overnight leader Wilco Kelderman struggled on the final climb and fell to eighth place overall, trailing Henao by more than a minute. Henao has been here before, leading into the final stage timetrial only to miss out on the win in 2013 and 2015. 
"I'm going to give my all right to the end," he said.
 Rain risks making Paris-Roubaix cobbles treacherous Expected rain Saturday could make some of the cobbled sections on Sunday's Paris-Roubaix one-day classic slippery, according to a French meteorologist. 
World champion Peter Sagan and the other favorites are due to cover 27 cobbled sectors totaling 52.8km over the grueling 257.5km 'Hell of the North' race. 
But while Sunday is expected to be dry, lingering moisture could make some of the famous 'paves' quite treacherous in a race that is always punctuated by numerous crashes and punctures. 
"The course risks being moist because Saturday afternoon between 3pm and 4pm, it's not excluded that the first drops could fall and that could last until 9pm," Etienne Kapikian from Meteo France said. 
"It will certainly leave puddles. 
"However, we're not expecting any rain Sunday in the Nord-Picardie region, but rather a return to dry weather for the entire day." 
A light tail-wind is expected, meaning conditions will be relatively favourable for the riders. 
"The conditions are good apart from the possibility of the ground being wet," added Kapikian. 
Temperatures in the morning will be quite low at around 3-4 degrees Celsius, but rising to 13-14 during the day.
