Jasper Philipsen:"Before I could start sprinting, the finish was already there"
CyclingSunday, 03 July 2022 at 02:30
The second stage of the Tour de France was held on Saturday. Jasper Philipsen managed to secure the fifth position in the stage.
"When the pace was picked back up it was very hectic, I went into the fences a few times. Peter Sagan almost pushed me off my bike, so I didn't really get to sprinting. Before I could start sprinting, the finish was already there. This was not really what I had hoped for. More luck and we have to look at the footage of what went wrong. But I think I had the speed and the legs," Philipsen said at the end of the day. Having finished fifth, it isn't the hoped result but it does mean the Belgian is on track to contest a win.
"Nobody from the team fell, that's the most important thing. I do think we worked well, but you have to have a little bit of luck. It was life and death. I still held my heart a few times that I didn't fall down." said Jasper. Today he will have a second opportunity.

- i don’t know about it being a “nightmare” for mathieu, but he did lose. flanders is a similar nightmare i suppose for almost anyone who gets dropped on the paterberg at the end. very hard to chase back.OCexile24-12-2024
- yeah, i’m not sure you can say that van der poel was so dominant in the spring “because van aert wasn’t there.” who knows how wout would have farted against mathieu in those races, because HE WASN’T THERE. wout has never beaten mvdp in any cobbled monument, but maybe he would have IF HE’D BEEN THERE. maybe, just like mads, et al, he’d have gotten smoked. we’ll never know, BECAUSE…OCexile24-12-2024
- You are dreaming. MvdP has won Flanders 3 times and come second twice, once against the Pog in a very close race. He has convincingly beaten the Pog directly in MSR twice as well.Velovibes24-12-2024
- USA Cycling is just such a good institution! ...And they wonder why I don't do their races anymore!acem8224-12-2024
- MvdP is just afraid losing Pogi on his sight. Since 2023 Tour of Flanders is a nightmare for him when he dropped.
James2631823-12-2024 - The only handicap for Pogi is heat in the Tour de France but it seems resolved drastically this year and it seems destined to take more glory to his unmatched palmares in years.James2631823-12-2024
- Everyone rides behind Pogacar.Sweep23-12-2024
- everything you hear about lance and his team back in their “glory” days is so weird and creepy and gross. it always just reinforces that at least among a certain group, lance isn’t hated and despised only for the doping — other dopers have been cast out but not HATED — it’s because he’s just an extremely AWFUL human being in virtually every way imaginable.OCexile23-12-2024
- When I ask AI "Has Tadej Pogacar ever raced cyclocross against Mathieu van der Poel?", the answer says NO. Is that really true? Wonder how they would do when clearly in van der Poel's territory.Ride197423-12-2024
- Next year in Rwanda, the peloton will likely be Strade Bianche Pogi style attack like we saw this last March.James2631823-12-2024
