Van Aert charges against Philipsen: “He is not professional”
Wout Van Aert he has the license plate caught Jasper Philipsen. The one from Alpecin, who still has zero in this Tour, was eliminated after closing him down and the one from Visma once again reproached him for his attitude through the Belgian media as soon as he crossed the finish line.
“The Philips He closed me again. It’s a bad habit of yours. It wasn’t very dangerous because I could still brake. I was level with him and he threw me directly into the barrier. He sensed me coming and it’s unprofessional to close the door like that,” Van Aert explained.
Van Aer was ironic when asked if he was angry: “Angry? Mostly I’m just glad I stayed on my feet.. I would be angry if there were no sanctions. “There is no need for him to be kicked out of the race for me, but a declassification would be appropriate.”
As is already known, Philipsen (Alpecin) He lost second place due to his maneuver against Wout van Aert. Biniam Girmay (Intermarché)was second and the Colombian Fernando Gaviria (Movistar) moved to third place. The victory went to Dylan Groenewegen.
