Jasper Philipsen will headline Alpecin-Deceuninck at the Vuelta
Jasper Philipsen's status for the upcoming Vuelta a España was a question mark as he continued to recover from the crash that knocked him out of the Tour de France, but the fast-finishing Belgian seems to have come out of the recent Tour of Denmark and ADAC Cyclassics confident in his form. His Alpecin-Deceuninck team announced on Wednesday that Philipsen will make the Vuelta start in Turin, Italy, on Saturday.
"Alpecin-Deceuninck lines up with one clear goal: stage wins, just as we’ve done in the most previous Grand Tours we started," the team wrote on social media. "Jasper Philipsen leads our sprint train, supported by top lead-outs Jonas Rickaert and Edward Planckaert."
