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.

- He won't win the TDF unless Pogi messes up somehow. Pogačar didn't have a team when Vingo beat him. Now, the teams are near even and head to head Pogačar is just a better ridermd197503-07-2025
- Guy is a great classic rider, if he concentrated on a GT only I think he could win one. However, he would have to be all in to try. I like him great ridermd197503-07-2025
- To win of top 3, he needs support. A d according to the roster, they are taking a sprinter and lead out man. So, come time to climb, Remco is down 2 team members for support. To win a race like the TDF you need skill, luck (illness and falls), directions from the team and more than anything a team built to be your support on flat and then climbs. Not be out manned before you even see a climbmd197503-07-2025
- I agree, the big GC guys are there, but looking at the list, it seems a bit few teams with real GC ambitions. Or is it normal, half of the team are only there for stagesRide197402-07-2025
- Win all of the first 10 stages? Or does he mean that the profile of all of those 10 stages are suited for a win by Wout? If they mean winning 10 stages, they're banking on MVDP, Milan, and a few others to crash out on stage one. Maybe something was lost in translation.Ride197402-07-2025
- The problem is that grand tours are not always won by the best riders. In the 2025 Giro d'italia, Carapaz was the strongest rider - but Simon Yates and Del Toro had really good days on Stages 20 and 9 respectively, so they both finished ahead of him
Llywelynglyndwr02-07-2025 - God what an a hole - why does this site insist on giving a platform to these pundits who have never won a race ?Crashjames02-07-2025
- Jonas admires Tadej, he has said repeatedly he is fascinated watching him racing the classics. Normal, any intellectually honest person admire such a generational talent who's been astounding the world with his incredible versatility since he was 18-19 y.o.
maria2024202402-07-2025 - Agreed. It's a shame to watch such a talented and versatile rider spending ... 90% ?... of his resources being a domestique. FREE WOUT!!! ahahah.maria2024202402-07-2025
