It's extra true and significant, because my wife said it too. She said "oh bugger, look, he's boxed in". Because he was, undeniably, boxed in.
Them's the breaks.

I think Tony thinks Wout should have waved Mark past. No no, after you old chap, no rush from me…

Well, to be honest, that's precisely what he should have done. The rotter.

And did you read in the article... My answers are in brackets ()
"Cavendish was led out perfectly by his Deceuninck - Quick Step teammates, and Van Aert's strategy was to remain behind them before launching his move in the final 200 metres."
"I came out of Cavendish's slipstream, but in the wind I couldn't completely make up the gap," he reflected."
(This is where Van Aert realised he could not beat Cavendish)
"I deliberately didn't want to go ahead of Cav with the headwind, but it didn't give me much time to get any closer either."
(More wake up time in a desperate situation for Van Aert)
"I have no excuses: he was faster. I was where everyone wants to be in this Tour: on the Quick Step train.
(Confirmation that Cavendish was faster!)
"I have to thank Mike Teunissen. The teamwork was beautiful. It is motivating to make something out of it in this Tour."
(The blocking in by Van Aert's team mate Mike Teunissen worked)
Wout van Aert jokes he'll try to stop Mark Cavendish winning again at Tour de France 'especially for Eddy Merckx'

This is how sprinting works . Sprinters are the jocks (butch) of the peleton and only behave this well because the rules force them too.
There is nothing special going on here just the normal boisterous headbanging tough play that they love .
