Jasper Philipsen not only helped deliver his team leader Mathieu van der Poel to victory at Paris-Roubaix, but outsprinted Wout van Aert to take a striking second place and deliver Alpecin-Deceuninck to the top two spots of the podium.
Not considered a Classics specialist, Philipsen surprised many with his strong form in the most renowned of the Cobbled Classics, and the young Belgian sprinter hinted that he would love to return to Paris-Roubaix to vie for overall victory.
