Girmay vs Philipsen - Tour de France 2024

Biniam Girmay's grip on the green jersey seemed really tight since he powered to the lead of the points standings on day 5 but his crash yesterday in Nîmes could change everything. The last time we saw a change of leader in the points standings in the last week dates back to 2017, in similar circumstances. Marcel Kittel didn’t participate in the sprint on stage 16, won by Michael Matthews, who went on to claim the green jersey on day 17… Philipsen eyes today's intermediate sprint but it won't be enough for him to overthrow Girmay.
