When looking back on the images, it can be seen that both Coquard and Rex are responsible for the fall of Philipsen. It remains to be seen whether yellow cards will be handed out by the UCI afterwards.

63 km – some trains are already forming in the peloton. There is an intermediate sprint 61 kilometers from the line. Who o who takes the points?
Another 71 km – yes! The peloton finally increases the pace to 60 kilometers per hour. The stage will actually start now.
