Jasper Philipsen, known for his sprinting prowess, wrapped up the UAE Tour without a win but remains satisfied with his training and preparation for upcoming Classics. Despite strong competition from rivals like Jonathan Milan and Tim Merlier, Philipsen acknowledges his current speed issues but emphasizes the different dynamics of racing in the Classics. As the defending champion of Milan-San Remo and a top performer in Paris-Roubaix, Philipsen's outlook is positive as he positions himself for larger goals beyond mere stage victories.
Not all the sprints were perfect this week, but I just missed a little bit of speed I think, and I'm just happy with the week and looking forward to the next races.
For sure, I'd like to win this week. It's a WorldTour stage race, so we will try our best, and it's always important for the team.
