Jasper Philipsen on green and intermediate running: ‘I don’t think I put my energy into it anymore’

Jasper Philipsen on green and intermediate running: ‘I don’t think I put my energy into it anymore’

Mathematically, it is still possible, but it will be very difficult to change ownership of the green jersey. Jasper Philipsen is the first pursuer of Benjamin Jermay, but he is gradually burying the hatchet.

After winning the final stage on Tuesday, Jasper Philipsen was no longer able to close the gap on Binyam Germay. On the contrary, the Eritrean himself was one point ahead and had 33 more points.

Philipsen must achieve a coup in the intermediate sprints, but he knows that this task is almost impossible.

“I don’t think I put my energy into the green anymore,” he admitted today ahead of the trip to Isola 2000. “I’m basically trying to survive the climb and get to the finish on time.”

“How much am I looking forward to this trip? A lot. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it,” he grinned. “It gets really hard and my legs are already tired. That doesn’t help.”

The organization has increased the time limit by 3 percent. “But it will be tough mentally and physically. It’s no different than the last few days. I just have to persevere,” he added.
