In his interview, he said it was really hard and cold, and that he knew someone was on his wheel and it was going to be very hard to win in this situation, but he tried.
And a friendly #JPDF reminder, this is not Top Sprinter Jasper yet. So I'll take a safe second place. 👍
Jasper sacrificed himself to haul MVDP back to the peloton after the crash, then came in with the following group 3 some minutes later. Teammate to the end. #JPDF
And Silvan…can’t say anything more about that absolute UNIT. 👏

Cyclist Jasper Philipsen holds the Nokere Koerse trophy up during the podium at his 2026 race win
What a roller coaster #NokereKoerse! I thought for sure with Alpecin MIA at 4km, it was over & I was cheering for Segaert.
But then a bolt of blue, and Jasper came wiggling through the lines and launched like the 🚀 he is & BOOM. 1st of many this season. 🤞 Congrats, Jasper! #JPDF

WHERE THE $%U@#Q(%&$%U$ DID JASPER COME FROM!!!???
Jasper Philipsen charges from NOWHERE and wins #NokereKoerse!
THERE HE IS!!! 👏👏👏 #JPDF

Watching the ladies' #NokereKoerse to the end, then hopping to #MilanoTorino until the men's Nokere comes on.
I'm really hoping Jasper has a good day today. He's had some pretty bad luck so far this year, so I would love him to have a good and safe race. 🤞 #JPDF

Jonny Milan wins again.
Jasper never got a chance after being squeezed and crashing out on a tight, crowded corner.
Horrifically disappointing and I am 😫 for him, but he got back up and looks okay. Hope the Soudal guy that was down is also okay.
#TirrenoAdriatico #JPDF
Heyyyyy, Jasper is getting credit for being “one of the best climbing sprinters in the world.”
Finally someone noticed! Chapeau Declan and Robbie! 😆
Alpecin is RIPPING up the peloton up a climb with 95km to go!!
#TirrenoAdriatico #JPDF
Andresen takes the sprint at #TirrenoAdriatico, but Jasper, being NOwhere at 500m to go, came from Narnia up the barriers to beat Milan and Magnier to get to third.
I am THRILLED with that result, well done!
And VERY pleased that there was no crashing. #JPDF
Ack, just saw Jasper has been added to Tirreno Adriatico!
No rest for the #JPDF! 👏
I don’t think your answer is insane at all. 😁
Welcome to the club! #JPDF
(You can also add consistency and GT stage wins to the list; consistently in play in most finishes he’s in AND has won multiple stages in every GT he’s fully raced in the last 3 years. Plus wearing the red & yellow jerseys.)
In other news, I see #OHN26 went the way I expected, Jasper dropping out to hopefully save legs for today.
I hope he has a good go of it as team leader! 👏👏👏 #JPDF
Welp, I’m getting ready to drop off to sleep because the 430am wake up call for the Tokyo Marathon is coming real soon.
So I shall miss all of #OHN26, and even though I know it won’t happen, I will always be all in for Jasper.
Safe ride and LET’S GOOOO!! 👏👏 #JPDF

Jasper and Groves got tangled up a bit and Jasper got going late, so probably wouldn’t have gotten there anyway, but being barged into and having to stop his sprint didn’t help.
(Just getting ahead of anyone tutting at Jasper being mad crossing the line. 🤷♀️)
#VoltaAoAlgarve #JPDF
And...BREATHE. 😮💨
Alpecin's train came apart there. Don't know if they were actually trying with Groves or if it was just a Hail Mary.
Jasper bounced around in the wind, finally found Magnier's wheel, but ran out of time & road to try to come around.
But no crashing. Whew. #VoltaAoAlgarve #JPDF
Now to gather myself for #VoltaAoAlgarve. Will be very happy to see Jasper get his season underway. 👏
Again, not expecting anything, first race day, he hasn't really been sprint training. Just good and safe through the line will be good enough.
#JPDF
Am excited & antsy about Jasper starting the season tomorrow at #VoltaAoAlgarve.
No high expectations, as Jasper has said many times that he's not in top sprinting form in the spring, as "that is the time for classics." This is his usual early stage race to shake off rust.
But let's goooo! #JPDF
First half of Jasper Philipsen's spring schedule, including Volta ao Algarve, Omloop Het Niewsblad, Kuurne Brussel Kuurne, Nokere Koerse, & Milano-Sanremo
Second half of Jasper Philipsen's spring schedule, Ronde van Brugge, Middelkerke-Wevelgem, Dwars door Vlaanderen, Scheldeprijs, & Paris-Roubaix
Thanks to @tonke.bsky.social, I've been alerted to Jasper's spring schedule dropping!
Pretty much identical to last spring, only he's kicking off at Algarve instead of UAE Tour. (And let's not crash and have whiplash for a month, please. 🙏)
Mount up #JPDF and LET'S RIDE!

Poor guy, he tried to bait the Jonas fans but got the #JPDF instead! 🤣
*gnaws on thumbnail for a moment* Okay, I will plant the #JPDF flag and argue. 😆
Jasper in tier 4? He was on track to have a fantastic season in '25, but two bad crashes derailed so much. And *still* he came back and had a great Vuelta. I doth strongly protest!!
Per the team, Jasper is “not fully fit” after abandoning Binche this past week. (I didn’t realize he was a DNF.) Sounds like he might have had a bit of illness.
So he is out of Paris-Tours and has nothing else on his schedule except perhaps the Singapore Crit.
This makes me sad. #JPDF

Drink up, Jasper, you earned it!

Awake and settled, ready for Jasper at the #MunsterlandGiro!
It’s gonna be a stacked race and we get it from line to line.
Let’s gooooo! #JPDF
So perhaps a lost opportunity, but a good day out legswise, I think. Very excited for the last 3 races of the season. 👏

Cyclist Jasper Philipsen smiles after winning stage 19 of the 2025 Vuelta a Espana
Welp, I’m up at a dumb hour to head out to another foot race…I am hoping to get back in time for the end of the #LaVuelta25 stage, but no promises. Hang in there, Jonas!
Meanwhile, about yesterday…😁 #JPDF

Jasper puts on the afterburners and thumps it up the kicker, leaving Mads and the rest in the dust!!
YAAAASSSS!!!
#LaVuelta25 #JPDF
Can I just say that Jasper making it up the Angrilu in just a little over half an hour behind the winner is pretty smoking cool? 😎 Rolling in with Pippo Ganna, no less!
#LaVuelta25 #JPDF
Thinking a bit about Jasper’s win yesterday, and the thing I loved most about it was how after getting separated from his guys and shuffled back, he found his own way through, coming from way back & finding the gap before he exploded through.
He Merlier-ed that and I LOVED IT. 😂

JASPER COMES FROM NARNIA UP THE BARRIERS!!!!
Shuffled back but works his way up and BLASTS home!!!!
