Fabio Jakobsen called for the UCI and race organisers to avoid chicane finishes for sprint stages at the Tour de France after Jasper Philipsen closed the door on Wout Van Aert as riders switched left and right across the road in the final five hundred metres of the stage 3 sprint in Bayonne.
Van Aert was not angry after the stage, there were no tantrums like after stage 2, and Philipsen insisted that he only followed the road and did no wrong. However, Jakobsen, who finished fifth after struggling to find a way to the front as the rider switched from left to right, was not so happy.
