Philipsen wins the 112nd Tour de France
At the start of the 112nd tour, a rare award is waiting for the sprinter – and Sprint star Philipsen cannot be taken. The debut of the German hopeful Lipowitz is bumpy.
Radprofi Jasper Philipsen won the opening stage of the 112nd Tour de France. The 27-year-old Belgian spread the yellow jersey in Lille and thus celebrated a special success, because the fast men rarely have the prospect of the most prestigious dress in the cycling world. It was the tenth touring success for Philipsen.
Near the imposing fortress fortress in the Northern French city, Philipsen prevailed after the mostly flat 184.9 kilometers with start and finish in Lille in front of the EritReische Profi Biniam Girmay and Norwegian Sören Welenskjold. The German Sprinter around Pascal Ackermann and Phil Bauhaus went away empty -handed, but the debutant Marius Mayrhofer became ninth.
Right at his debut stage, the German cycling hope Florian Lipowitz experienced a slight moment of shock. The 24-year-old was annoyed in the course of the race over a flat tire. The breakdown was quickly remedied, but the total third of the Dauphiné tour had to catch up for almost 40 seconds before he pushed back to the main field.
On the second day, the professionals are facing the longest stage on Sunday. On the 209.1 kilometers between Lauwin-Planque and Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France, the outliers and classic experts have high hopes for the day’s victory. This also includes the Dutch Star Mathieu van der Poel, who won the classics Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix in spring.
