The Alpecin runner regretted the fact.

The Belgian sprinter Jasper Philipsen believed “he had won for five seconds”, recognized at the finish line after having raised his arms at the moment of crossing the line, a few seconds after the winner of the fourth stage of the
Tour, Wout van Aert.

“I thought I won for five seconds. That will become part of the funny images over time,” reacted the sprinter from Alpecin, who was the fastest in the peloton sprint.

The Wout van Aert yellow jersey, who was left alone in the lead on the last climb, with eleven kilometers to go, had finished eight seconds earlier. Without being seen by Philipsen: the Belgian exploded with joy to the surprise of Christophe Laporte, who pointed his finger towards Van Aert.

“We were too far up the climb, I didn’t see him get away,”
explained Philipsen, who was also not informed by radio.

And Philipsen was not alone in making the mistake, as Norway’s Alexander Kristoff also believed he was sprinting for victory.“but I was the one who crossed the line first and the one who celebrated so I’m the one who made a fool of myself”, the Belgian smiled.
