I had missed the push! Only saw later that he was punished for it. I think Philipsen was in the wrong against van Aert on Monday.

As an aside, I read a suggestion the other day about sprint finishes: to paint lanes on the roads and then everyone has to stick to theirs.

In theory, that’s a good idea, but I think it won’t work. All they see is the finish and at such high speeds lanes would lead to crashes too.
