I see your view but it seemed egregious to me hence I said it earlier.
Close but definitely to much for me

The gap was tiny when Philipsen’s deviation was complete. That was a clear cut case of obstruction and endangering.
He’s done worse, but those should have been penalised, too.
Overhead shot shows it clearly, and, more importantly, shows that if he hadn’t obstructed Wout he could’ve taken a straighter line to win the stage!

Painted guidelines would make it unavoidably clear for the riders and could help the assembly team keep the barriers dead straight, too.

Philipsen relegated for closing the door on Wout Van Aert. Which is harsh in my view, there was a tiny gap against the barriers and Philipsen closed it, as anyone would if someone was trying to sneak between you and the barriers.
