Salerno climbs into race lead on Mt Fuji

Cristiano Salerno (De Rosa-Stac Plastic) conquered the 10 per cent average gradient of Japan's Mount Fuji to win the fifth stage of the Tour of Japan on Friday. The Italian's win also lifted him into the overall lead of the race with two stages remaining in the seven-stage event.

As expected, the climb succeeded in re-shaping the overall classification with runner-up Andrey Mizurov moving into second, and his Kazakhstan teammate Alexandr Shushemoin shifting into third overall.
