Paul Magnier beats Jasper Philipsen to win Elfstedenronde Brugge - Elia Viviani wraps up podium
CyclingSunday, 15 June 2025 at 15:57
It was a magical weekend for Paul Magnier who, after winning Dwars door het Hageland, has now won in a pure bunch sprint the Elfstedenronde Brugge by beating none other than Jasper Philipsen on the eve of the Tour de France.
It was a brilliant set of races for the Soudal - Quick-Step rider who continues to show evolution both as a sprinter and classics rider, and provides hope for the Belgian team to be able to have a new classics star in the making.
Today's race was decided in a bunch sprint and, after a disappointing Giro d'Italia, the Frenchman showed his pure power by beating Jasper Philipsen to the line, whilst Elia Viviani finished third in the day in a comeback to top positions in the big races.

- Danish... When his compatriot went from being a complete unknown to being the best climber in the world, a very average (bad) time-trialist to perform the best time trial in history, a growth achieved in about one year (improving... what? 90%?)... what did this great expert say? Tadej was progressing from the age of 18-19 until now, it was not a leap from one year to the next. I really believe that the cycling NOW is as clean as OTHER SPORTS, but if I HAVE TO suspect about doping, I'd suspect of unexpected big jump and not about one that is a phenomenon from his adolescence.
maria2024202412-07-2025 - they want to tire Tadej, but Jonas is sprinting alongside him. isn't he tiring himself out too?mij12-07-2025
- Jonas is playing the long game??? he tracks every move like a dog chasing his tail. he seems desperate, not to be playing the long game.mij12-07-2025
- He's getting paid a LOT of money to stay in the race and do his job. Which he will.bobo12-07-2025
- Talk is cheap Sepp! Let's see you step up since you haven't done a thing since your Vuelta gifted win!frieders312-07-2025
- Not sure what gap he is talking about as he was always behind Tadeg during the whole sprint!frieders312-07-2025
- He's not wrong! Wout again was a no-show for the 7th stage that should have seen him in the final group!frieders312-07-2025
- Almeida is the strongest helper, then Jorgensen. Kuss and 2Yates arent there yet. If Almeida is gone then Visma have advantageabstractengineer12-07-2025

- Team sport it is. And UAE losing so many people to covid protocols in ‘22 was a major reason that Pogacar was exposed and Jumbo Visma could play him like they did. Let’s Hope Almeida can make it through the weekend and be able to help in the mountains. And Narvaez? One of the unsung heroes of the team.RidesHills12-07-2025
