Jensen Plowright (Alpecin-Premier Tech) appeared to have edged race leader Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) in a narrow victory on stage 2 of the Tour of Denmark, but after a closer look at the photo finish, the Belgian rider was confirmed to have crossed the line by a sliver of time versus the Australian.
Third place went to Toon Aerts (Lotto-Intermarché) no matter the outcome of the winner.
The stage seemed to be a success for Alpecin-Premier Tech, who worked to control the stage finale after the peloton reeled in the day’s early breakaway with 7.5km to go and then swatted down several late attacks.
After Van Aert opened the sprint but couldn’t get separation, Plowright came in late on his left and appeared to snatch the stage win. However, a closer look at the bike throws by both riders showed Van Aert first to cross the line, holding off Plowright, and giving the race leader back-to-back stage wins.
The time bonus extended Van Aert’s lead in the overall classification to 14 seconds over Unibet’s Lukáš Kubiš, with Henrik Pedersen (Uno-X Mobility) third at 16 seconds.
“It was actually super crazy and super fast. Lovely circuit, but super hectic on the way down. I got a really nice run to the finish in the last 200 [metres],” Plowright said after the finish, but before the review of the photo finish moved him to second.
The reversal by race officials confirmed what Van Aert saw after the finish in a timing photo.

“It was a chaotic finale. I had to launch my sprint quite early. Plowright suddenly came alongside me in the final metres, and as we crossed the line I genuinely had no idea who had won,” Van Aert said in a team statement.
“I’ve never experienced anything like this before. Because of Plowright’s reaction, I was convinced he had taken the victory. It wasn’t until we saw the photo finish that everyone realized just how close it really was. I’m incredibly happy the win went my way.”
Friday’s stage 3 is the queen stage of the five-day race, with four categorised climbs across 202.9km from Fredericia to Vejle.
