Jasper Philipsen is gearing up for the Tour de France by participating in the Baloise Belgium Tour, one of the last preparation races before the big event. After finishing second in Paris-Roubaix two months ago, Philipsen is ready to compete against some of the top sprinters he will face in France. His successful spring season, including a victory in Milan-Sanremo, has set the stage for his upcoming challenges.
Following his strong performance in Paris-Roubaix, Philipsen took a break before resuming his training and preparations for the upcoming races. He has been working hard, including completing training stages in Tenerife, and is now focused on gaining more race experience leading up to the Tour de France. Philipsen is eager to push himself in the upcoming races and is aiming for a stage win in the Baloise Belgium Tour.
Last year, Philipsen claimed victory in the first stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour, and this year’s race will start with a time trial near his hometown. Philipsen is motivated by the opportunity to race in his own region and is looking forward to the upcoming events, including the Renewi Tour and the European Championships. He is determined to perform well in the Baloise Belgium Tour and is eyeing another shot at the green jersey in the Tour de France.
With four stage wins and the green jersey to his name from last year’s Tour de France, Philipsen is setting his sights on another successful campaign this year. He is confident in his abilities and is determined to compete against the best sprinters in the upcoming races. Philipsen’s focus and determination will be key as he aims for redemption in the quest for the green jersey.
