Philipsen also wants to show off his fast legs on the Baloise Belgium Tour. “For me, it’s about polishing everything in a tour job,” says Phillipsen. “We still have a few moments in this Baloise Belgium Tour to tune in to the sprint train (including Rickaert, Sinkeldam and Van der Poel.” Philipsen is especially looking forward to the final stage in Brussels. “The finish is the Belgian Champs-Elysées, with the Atomium in the background. If I won the stage on Sunday, which is also possible earlier, so this is a great bonus for BC and the Tour.”
