Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) timed his sprint to perfection to narrowly pip Arnaud De Lie (Lotto) to the victory at the Sparkassen Münsterland Giro, defending his crown from last year in a chaotic sprint.
De Lie hit the front after scorching around the outside of Tim Torn Teutenberg (Lidl-Trek) and Lukáš Kubiš (Unibet Tietema Rockets), who opened up the sprint in Münster first, but Philipsen was waiting to pounce not far behind.
