It looks increasingly like no one is going to be able to beat Jasper Philipsen in a bunch sprint in this year’s Tour de France. For a fourth time this July, Belgium’s Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) powered over the finish line quicker than any of his rivals – this time beating a frustrated Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) to the spoils.
MOULINS, France: Jasper Philipsen cemented his status as this year's sprinting star when he claimed his fourth stage win in the Tour de France on Wednesday (Jul 12).
Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) produced a monster sprint to win Stage 8 at the 2023 Tour de France as Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) suffered a heartbreaking crash to end his record bid. Pedersen held off Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) in a fatiguing but fascinating finish as Jumbo-Visma's hard work to tee up Wout van Aert came to nothing, as the Belgian was boxed in by his own leadout rider before beginning his sprint.
Denmark's Mads Pedersen won the eighth stage of the Tour de France, a 200-km ride from Libourne on Saturday.
Should cycling have a red and yellow card system to encourage riders to take fewer risks? That was the debate on The Breakaway after Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck) was penalised for bumping Biniam Girmay (Intermarche–Circus–Wanty) in the finale to Stage 4 at the 2023 Tour de France as he teed up team-mate Jasper Philipsen for victory. Ad While Van der Poel was relegated to 22nd place, fined 500 Swiss francs, and docked 11 green jersey points and 13 UCI points, it seemed a small punishment given Philipsen and Alpecin–Deceuninck were left celebrating a second straight win.
A tense and highly contested sprint finish in Bayonne was won by Belgium’s Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) ahead of Germany’s Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious) and Australia’s Caleb Ewan (Lotto Dstny). But it seemed like an eternity for the result to be confirmed after the race jury studied replays to decide whether Philipsen had veered off his line and boxed out his compatriot Wout van Aert (Jumbo Visma) on the curved home straight in Stage 3.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) insists ‘nothing is lost yet’ after he tried and failed to push to the top of the general classification standings at Stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse. The world champion is bidding for glory in Switzerland and went on the attack with 6km to go on the climb up Villars-sur-Ollon. Ad However, a sluggish finish saw the Belgian come fourth, with Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) taking a victory that leaves him 17 seconds ahead of Evenepoel in the GC.
