Finally, Olav Kooij has been beaten at the 2023 Tour of Britain. Sadly for the rest of the peloton however, the victory remained in the hands of Jumbo-Visma as Wout van Aert won stage 5 with late a flyer.

As the entire peloton seemed prepared to battle it out for Kooij's wheel, the Dutchman showed experience beyond his years and in a tactical masterstroke began to sit up, allowing his leadout man van Aert to ride clear at the front. As the sprinters took a moment to realise what was happening and question whether or not to chase, van Aert powered to victory.
