Everything had been going perfectly for
Alpecin-Deceuninck over the first two stages at the 2025
Tour de France. Part the way through stage 3 however, disaster has struck at the intermediate sprint.
Leading the Green Jersey classification after his stage 1 win,
Jasper Philipsen was looking to pick up more crucial points in the classification. As the line neared however, the argy-bargy at the front of the bunch began to step up a level and after coming into contact with
Bryan Coquard, Philpsen was sent violently down to the ground.
With his Green Jersey torn to shreds and the Belgian seemingly having broken his collarbone, his teammates who had stopped to support him, were told to get back on his bike and sent back off up the road and Philpsen was moved to the road side where he received the necessary medical attention.
