Jasper Philipsen wins spectacular battle in Flanders Fields

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) won In Flanders Fields – From Middelkerke to Wevelgem. After a 240 kilometer race, the Limburger was the first to cross the line in the bunch sprint. For a long time it seemed like a duel was brewing between Mathieu van der Poel and Wout Van Aert, but in the last kilometer they were overtaken by the peloton. Philipsen succeeds Mads Pedersen on the honors list, who did not appear at the start this year due to illness.
