Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) was crowned the Tirreno-Adriatico 2023 champion after Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sprinted to victory on the final stage on Sunday. The 33-year-old's triumph was always a formality on the final day of racing after he clinched three successive stage victories prior to Stage 7 to fully establish his dominance in the overall standings.
Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) timed his late attack to perfection to emerge victorious from a bunch sprint on stage 3 of Tirreno-Adriatico. Philipsen had team-mate Mathieu van der Poel to thank for a fantastic lead-out to pave the way for the Belgian’s victory with 125 metres to go. Ad The win is both Philipsen's and Alpecin-Deceuninck’s first of 2023.
Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal–Quick-Step) won Stage 2 of Tirreno-Adriatico in a thrilling sprint finish from Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) and Fernando Gaviria (Movistar). The largely flat stage from Camaiore to Follonica was always going to end with a big bunch sprint and it proved to be the case as Jakobsen timed his run perfectly as he came off the wheel of Philipsen to pip him to the line. Ad Gaviria went very early and opened up a gap of around five bike lengths, but was reeled in just at the line.
Tiesj Benoot ended Belgium’s seven-year wait for a home winner at Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne as he led a Jumbo-Visma one-two in a dominant Opening Weekend for the team. A day on from Dylan van Baarle’s win at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Benoot came out on top after a big battle between five riders in the final part of the race.
The 2023 UAE Tour is set to see some of cycling's finest sprinters battle for supremacy after organisers confirmed on Friday that Mark Cavendish, Elia Viviani, and Dylan Groenewegen will compete at the UCI World Tour race later this month.
Team Jumbo-Visma rider Olav Kooij won the opening crash-marred stage of the Tour of Denmark to lead the five-stage race, but it was Ineos Grenadiers’ rider Egan Bernal who stole the headlines after he made his return seven months after a life-threatening collision. It was announced on Monday that Bernal would make his return to the peloton after a catastrophic crash back in January left him with 20 fractures.
A Tour de France of high intensity where each stage was passionately fought from the gun concluded on Sunday with Jasper Philipsen winning the showpiece finale on the Champs-Elysees while Jumbo-Visma rolled home all smiles to celebrate their yellow, green and polka dot jersey haul. With an average speed of 42.03kph, the 2022 Tour was the fastest edition in history and the first Tour since 1989 where each of the three podium finishers – Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogacar and Geraint Thomas – had all made the podium on a previous occasion.
A wonderful edition of the Tour de France came to a close as the sun set over Paris on Sunday with Jumbo-Visma riders crossing the line together to celebrate Jonas Vingegaard’s overall win and Wout van Aert's green jersey, and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) storming the final sprint by a number of bike lengths. It’s a nigh-on impossible task narrowing down so much drama from over three weeks of high-octane, and at times highly emotional racing, into a baker's dozen of discrete moments but here goes nothing.
