Philipsen is still waiting for a first win in 2025, having fallen just short in the sprints of the recent
UAE Tour. Given the season is still young though, the Belgian doesn't seem too concerned. “I'm not particularly nervous even if we haven't won yet. There were some good opportunities at the UAE Tour, but we couldn't win there," he assesses honestly. "But the season has just started and the feeling is good, I've had a very good preparation and so sooner or later the results will come."
