Philipsen: “Making the first and second is a dream”

Date:

the Belgian Jasper Phillipsenranked second in the Paris-Roubaix behind his Dutch teammate Mathieu van der Poelconsidered the double victory won by the Alpecin-Deceuninck team “a dream”.

“It’s hard to say if I can win, but Mathieu Van der Poel is clearly the strongest. When he attacked at Carrefour de l’Arbre I couldn’t follow him, even though his legs were good. But to do the first and second is a dream, I can only enjoy this moment,” said Philipsen.

The Belgian sprinter, winner of two stages in the Tour de France and three in the Vuelta, hopes to continue progressing in the classics to fight for a victory in the future.

“I feel stronger and stronger in the classics and I hope I can improve. This year I stayed fresh, I didn’t do the Tour of Flanders and it’s only my fifteenth day of the race, maybe that’s why I’m in this good form now,” he concluded.
