Read our privacy policy Biniam Girmay will look to cement his place at the head of the sprinting field at this year’s Tour de France as the trailblazing Eritrean targets a fourth stage victory. Primoz Roglic was caught up in a crash yesterday to further weaken his bid for an elusive yellow jersey, while Arnaud De Lie lost key sprint lieutenant Jarrad Drizners in a blow to the Belgian’s hopes of a maiden stage victory. Mark Cavendish will be without leadout man Michael Morkov after the veteran Dane’s final Tour de France was ended prematurely by Covid, and Fabio Jakobsen failed to finish Stage 13 while seemingly battling an illness of his own. The Belgian produced a solid enough sprint to take fourth but if Van der Poel can produce another of his irrepressible leadouts, a second win of the 2024 Tour could be Philipsen’s for the taking.
