Fabio Jakobsen heeft de strijd in de BinckBank Tour moeten staken. Onze landgenoot is ziek. De 21-jarige renner van Quick-Step Floors won maandag nog de ouverture van de Nederlands-Belgische WorldTour-rittenkoers. Ook Sep Vanmarcke gaf tijdens de vierde rit de pijp aan Maarten.

#BinckBankTour: The peloton reduced gap from 3’30 to 2’30 in the second hour of racing. Understandable to want to keep the break close after yesterday’s mistimed chase.@sepvanmarcke has withdrawn during stage four (details to follow). Rest of #PinkArgyle in the bunch.
