Jasper Philipsen saw his opportunity to win fifth stage on this year's Tour de France slip through his fingers as the early breakaway turned out to be outside control, as Kasper Asgreen powered to his debut grand tour victory ahead of his breakaway companions and most importantly, ahead of the launching peloton with Philipsen in it's lead.
"I also ask myself why the breakaway made it. We did everything we could. We kept the gap to one minute. Many teams also chased. They must have been very strong at the front. Everyone is a bit tired. We worked a lot, but the front four were amazing. I wanted to win today but it hasn’t been a bad Tour so far. I can still be happy with four stage wins. I also collected points for the green jersey. Tomorrow can be a good day, and also Sunday."
