Philipsen: “Even more beautiful than stage 2”

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix): “It’s even more beautiful [than stage 2] if you look at the final 5km. We were all up there with the team. I cannot describe that. It’s incredible what we all do for each other and it’s beautiful that we can finish it up together. Yesterday, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t do my sprint like we wanted. To win today is super nice to turn the page from yesterday. I’m not necessarily thinking about having the green jersey at the end of La Vuelta, but of course it’s super nice to try to wear it day by day and we’ll see how far we can go. It would be a dream [to win the next sprint with the green jersey]. Yesterday, it didn’t bring too much luck, so let’s hope it will work out in the next sprint.”
