Jasper Philipsen has become the 2023 Tour de France sprint steamroller and he continued to flatten the opposition on stage 11 at Moulins on Wednesday, and that was despite the Alpecin-Deceuninck leader lacking his usual star lead-out man, Mathieu van der Poel, who is feeling under the weather.
Prior to easily outpowering Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AIUIa) on stage 11, Philipsen had already swept up stages 3, 4 and 7 with Van der Poel as his last man in the dash for the line.
