After crashing heavily out of the Tour de France on stage 3, Jasper Philipsen will have a second shot at Grand Tour racing and a leader's jersey in 2025 as he leads Alpecin-Deceuninck at the Vuelta a España.
Philipsen is the best pure sprinter on the Vuelta start list, but he'll face stiff competition from an in-form Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), who dominated his return race in Denmark, with other fast men such as Ethan Vernon (Israel-Premier Tech) and Casper van Uden (Picnic PostNL) also lining out in Turin on Saturday.
