Jakobsen speaks: “Today is “incroyable” as we would say in French ... for me it was a long process, step by step. A lot of people helped me along the way. This is to pay them back to see that that it was not for nothing. I’m happy that I can still ride the bike and enjoy racing. I’d like to help everyone who helped me to get to here.

“The team kept me in a good position ... on the final straight ... I was next to Sagan. We kind of touched each other but luckily we stayed upright ... then I just had the final stretch of 150m when I could pass the other two. I’m very happy to win. If I tell it like that, it sounds easy, but the legs were in pain. This is what we train for ... I hope everyone enjoyed watching.”

Jakobsen has done so incredibly well to fight back from that horrendous crash. And now he has his first Tour de France stage win. Well done.

That was a bit of a messy sprint and a messy leadout but the pre-stage favourite, Fabio Jakobsen, wins in Nyborg! Mads Pedersen and Wout van Aert were right up there, but it is two in two for Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl.

Lampaert was on the front with about 600metres to go, but looked back and realised his teammates were not there. Trek-Segafredo then took it up for Pedersen, and the Danish rider looked set for a home stage win with 100m to go. Van Aert bounced back to move neck-and-neck with Pedersen, but Jakobsen ghosted up beyond both of them and sealed an excellent win.

Pedersen looked strong there. He
