Scheldeprijs: Jasper Philipsen takes victory at Flanders Classic in sprint finish ahead of Mark Cavendish
Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) has taken victory at Scheldeprijs with Mathieu van der Poel helping guide his team-mate to the line in a sprint finish ahead of Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan Team). Philipsen — who was among the favourites to win the event — had to be patient after a brave breakaway group held strong for the majority of the 205km course — which runs from Terneuzen in the Netherlands to its finishing point at Schoten near Antwerp.
