It's back-to-back flat stages at the Tour de France as Mark Cavendish has another chance to go for history with a 35th Tour stage win on Stage 4. The riders left Spain for France on Stage 3 Monday, and it was Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) who was the strongest in the finale, edging out Wout van Aert and Caleb Ewan. Ad Cavendish came across the line in sixth to hint that he is in decent shape for the weeks ahead.
A tense and highly contested sprint finish in Bayonne was won by Belgium’s Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) ahead of Germany’s Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious) and Australia’s Caleb Ewan (Lotto Dstny). But it seemed like an eternity for the result to be confirmed after the race jury studied replays to decide whether Philipsen had veered off his line and boxed out his compatriot Wout van Aert (Jumbo Visma) on the curved home straight in Stage 3.
The Alpecin rider held off German Phil Bauhaus, with Australian Caleb Ewan third as the race crossed into France after two days in the Spanish Basque Country.
Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) is among the headline speed acts at the 2023 Tour de France – but who will prove the strongest in the bunch sprints at cycling’s showpiece event? Cavendish is targeting an outright record 35th stage win at the Tour in July, which would move him clear of Belgian great Eddy Merckx. One problem: Eurosport expert Robbie McEwen doesn’t fancy him and believes he only has a 1% chance of winning a stage. Ad We asked former Australian sprinter and 12-time Tour stage winner McEwen to rank the sprinters in France and, perhaps surprisingly, Cavendish is nowhere to be seen in the top three despite his return to winning ways at the Giro d’Italia.
