"Denmark will determine my future programme. I'd love to ride the Vuelta; it's one of the few major goals I still have this fall. I'm really motivated to be there, but with my limited preparation, we also have to see what's realistic,"
"If I ride around here in Denmark feeling bad for a week, it might not be wise to suffer for three weeks in the mountains during a tough Vuelta. We'll have to see."
"line up with one clear goal: stage wins, just as we've done in most previous Grand Tours we started."
Jasper Philipsen crashed heavily on stage 3 of the Tour de France and suffered a collarbone fracture. Philipsen returned to racing at the Tour of Denmark and later finished fourth at the Cyclassics Hamburg, signaling improving sprint form. He is selected to lead Alpecin-Deceuninck at the 2025 Vuelta a España and is considered the best pure sprinter on the start list. Competition includes Mads Pedersen, Ethan Vernon, and Casper van Uden. Alpecin-Deceuninck targets stage wins. Philipsen will race without the previous high-profile lead-out but will have experienced teammates Jonas Rickaert and Edward Planckaert.
