Jasper Philipsen has won the 107th edition of the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen after an incredibly close sprint finish between three former race winners in Belgium.
After the breakaway was caught with around 15km to go, it seemed set that a bunch sprint would be concluding the Belgian one-day race once again. A crash with just over 10km to go then threatened to scupper some teams leadout plans.
Into the final kilometre, it was Soudal - Quick-Step, Alpecin-Deceuninck and Team Jayco AlUla battling for the front and as all three of Fabio Jakobsen, Jasper Philipsen and Dylan Groenewegen launched a three-way photo finish was needed.

- The more statements that came out from his mouth, the more I'm impressed with how he carries himself.
KerisVroom22-05-2025 - What has it to do with us. It's between him and his employer. The crap about him having plenty money is irrelevant.Sabino22-05-2025
- lol, he knows how not to get into trouble with his teammates.KerisVroom22-05-2025
- They use English as their common language but it doesn't mean they speak it well. I hope this kid gets a chance to go for it, he too could win.awp22-05-2025
- I don't mind seeing Froome in the peloton, but he's a multimillionaire, he shouldn't take money that could give a few young guys, maybe more, a spot on a pro team. If he wants to ride it should be for no salary or much less. I say this without really knowing what he is making now but I assume it's decent amount.awp22-05-2025
- Don't forget the roster is weak compared to the Tadej and Jonas show, Carapaz has won the Giro before back in 2019. He was the only guy who could match Tadej and Jonas in the mountains in the 2021 Tour. He could take this race.awp22-05-2025
- That does seem to be an ever more common motivation for sudden performance ;-)Mistermaumau22-05-2025

- I hope so. Or was it just to show that he is still worth another good contract?Cyclingsbestfan22-05-2025
