Jasper Philipsen continues to struggle to replicate the immense success he had at the 2023 Tour de France in 2024. Although he crossed the line in 2nd on stage 6 behind Dylan Groenewegen, the Belgian has now been relegated.
In the opinion of the race jury, Philipsen's sprint was dangerous in the frantic finale in Dijon, with the Alpecin-Deceuninck leader adjudged to have put Wout van Aert's safety at risk as he shut the door on the Team Visma | Lease a Bike superstar. As a result of Philipsen's demotion, the current Green Jersey Biniam Girmay moves up to 2nd place, with Fernando Gaviria up onto the podium of the stage.
