The scenario for this third, and final stage, in Denmark was unsurprising.

While the race seemed to be between the Belgian and Peter Sagan, the Dutchman slipped between the riders and won this stage at the finish.

He thus recorded his fifth victory in the Tour de France.

For his part, Wout van Aert, still second, keeps his yellow jersey.

Magnus Cort Nielsen hero in his country
