Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) heads to Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne on Sunday looking to get back on his top game in bunch sprints after he suffered a rare but narrow defeat in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday.
The most prolifically successful WorldTour racer of 2023 with 19 wins, Philipsen conquered Milano-San Remo and took three Tour de France stages in 2024, as well as winning a top Belgian one-day race last spring, the Classic Brugge-De Panne.
