Fabio Jakobsen (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) has apologised for comments he made following Sunday's sprint finish in Sønderborg on stage 3 of the Tour de France.

The sprint was won by Team BikeExchange-Jayco's Dylan Groenewegen, with Jakobsen finishing in 5th place, after problems with positioning cost him in the final push for the line.
