I think Bouwman was almost a bike-length ahead and took the racing line. Schmidt would have to expect Bouwman to let him through to be pissed off that he didn’t.
Could sprinters lanes have helped?
Not in this instance. Moving the finish could have helped. But I like a technical finish. More dangerous are the high speed low-radius bend finishes.
