Jasper Philipsen is flying towards Milan and will be on the start line of Milan-Sanremo on Saturday. His intention is to defend his title, but it remains to be seen if he will be at his best after the Nokere crash.

«The accident obviously had a huge impact on my body - Philipsen said - With many abrasions and a few stitches, it won't be easy to tackle the Classic, but I want to try. And if I don't feel my best in the finale, I will obviously support the team. I'm happy to be able to race because this race, besides having won it, gives me special emotions».
