Fabio Jakobsen "couldn’t sprint for a better result" after explosive finale in Calais and looses sight of green jersey
CyclingTuesday, 05 July 2022 at 21:33
Fabio Jakobsen sprinted to 13th place in the fourth stage of the Tour de France, a disappointing result after the work that has been put in throughout the day from Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team.
“We were well-positioned going into the final climb, but the speed was too much and found myself among those chasing," Jakobsen said after the finish. Although he resisted in the decimated peloton, unlike yesterday's winner Dylan Groenewegen, he then didn't have the legs to sprint towards a second place at the end of the day.
"I gave my best to hang in there, the guys rode hard at the front of the bunch, but in the end I felt in the legs the effort I put in on the hill, where I surprised myself, and couldn’t sprint for a better result. It wasn’t our day today, but we remain optimistic and motivated for the next stages," he added.
Jakobsen will nevertheless start stage five in the green jersey, however now 61 points behind Wout van Aert. Although it's a distance that can be closed, the opening three bunch sprints favoured the Dutchman and there is no indication that Wout van Aert will be slowing down on his assault of the green jersey.
