Alpecin-Deceuninck's Jasper Philipsen had a memorable Wednesday, clinching his third victory of the season at the Classic Brugge-De Panne race
Having left behind Olav Kooij, Yves Lampaert, and Frederik Frison a few kilometers prior, the 25-year-old Belgian rider was delighted with his accomplishment and expressed his feelings during the post-race presentation.
“I think we had a very strong team today. We were always attentive in the crucial moments, and we were rewarded. We had a very good race, and we can be proud of it. I felt good, and I wanted to race,” he said after the podium ceremony.
His schedule includes the Gent-Wevelgem race this Sunday, where he will try his fortune. “I already knew this morning that it wouldn't end in a bunch sprint. In the final, there was a nice lead group with a lot of fast men, but there was an opportunity just before the Moëres, and we found ourselves with four riders at the front. I can't wait for Sunday," concluded Philipsen.

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself.
