Heartbreak for Cavendish as Jasper Philipsen does it again on stage 7 of the Tour de France
CyclingFriday, 07 July 2023 at 17:12
In the third bunch sprint of the 2023 Tour de France it was Jasper Philipsen who took the win, edging out Mark Cavendish in a thrilling finale.
Stage 7 of the Tour de France sees the riders leave the Pyrenees and start heading north. The metropolitan area of Bordeaux receives the Tour de France back, for a stage that will be perfectly suited to the fast men. The first true transition day as the riders steer away from the mountains.
Although four riders initially went clear and formed a breakaway, three of them were soon told to sit up, leaving poor Simon Guglielmi of Team Arkéa Samsic all on his lonesome up front.

At the intermediate sprint, Guglielmi took maximum points. Behind him though, it was Biniam Girmay who proved strongest as the time-gap between the lone leader and the peloton dropped to just 40 seconds.
Following the intermediate sprint, Nans Peters and Pierre Latour decided to attack from the peloton and give Guglielmi some company.
With around 40km to go though, Guglielmi began to feel the effects of having spent so long out in the wind. Having lost the wheel of his two compatriots, he was caught by the peloton.
With 10km to go the leading duo maintained an advantage of 28 seconds over the bunch and with 5km to go that gap was just 6 seconds.
All the GC riders were safely through the 3.6km mark as it had been extended to for today's stage as the break was caught.
Then, it was all about the sprint. Van der Poel lead out Jasper Philipsen once again but as Mark Cavendish came around, history was in his sights. Philipsen turned heartbreaker though with a brilliant finish.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
