After taking his first win of the season on stage 2 of Tirreno-Adriatico, Jasper Philipsen is set to head to the Danilith Nokere Koerse with Alpecin-Deceuninck ahead of Milano-Sanremo this weekend.
The Belgian sprinter will be joined at the midweek semi-Classic by Oscar Riesebeek, Lars Boven, Senne Leysen, Jonas Rickaert, Siebe Roesems and Timo Kielich, who finished fourth at this race last year.
Alpecin-Deceuninck have also confirmed their team for the Grand Prix de Denain, which takes place a day later, as Riesebeek, Kielich and Boven remain in the lineup for that race as well, with Simon Dehairs, Stan Van Tricht, Fabio Van den Bossche and Sam Gaze all coming into the team.
Kielich also performed well at the French semi-Classic last season, in what was a strong period of form for the Belgian rider, as he finished third behind Juan Sebastián Molano and Tim van Dijke.
No less than 6 one-day races remain on the schedule this week. We start with @NokereKoerse and @GPDenainPDH, Wednesday and Thursday. On the cobbles of Nokereberg @JasperPhilipsen will be our leader, in Denain @timokielich hopes to confirm last year’s podium. #alpecindeceuninck
