Tour de France 2023: Jasper Philipsen storms to first sprint stage win as Wout Van Aert edged out again
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.
