There is no doubt about it.
Jasper Philipsen is the fastest man in the peloton at the 2023
Tour de France. The Belgian fired his way to a fourth stage win at the race in scintillating style.
With
Mathieu van der Poel nowhere to be seen in the final, Philipsen wasn't able to rely on his
Alpecin-Deceuninck teammate and arguably the best leadout man in the world. This was not a problem for Philipsen though as he overcame the challenge of
Dylan Groenewegen in the final few metres, powering his way around to take the stage win.
