Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-Quick Step) won at Bourg-en-Bresse following a heroic breakaway. The Dane is ahead of Pascal Eenkhoorn (Lotto-Dstny) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X).
Surprise scenario in Bourg-en-Bresse. While Jasper Philipsen hoped to glean his fifth victory in the Tour de France 2023. The Belgian was ultimately frustrated. Blame it on a heroic escape.
A breakaway composed of Pascal Eenkhoorn (Lotto-Dstny), Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Dstny), Kasper Asgreen (Soudal – Quick Step), Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X). Solid riders, the three men might never really believe in their chances. Indeed, the peloton only left the fugitives one minute… but these fugitives managed their business perfectly.
The peloton played… it lost
Solid riders, they started at the same time as the peloton… and resisted. So that until the end, the teams of sprinters try to take back the fugitives. Without success. More experienced than his companions in the breakaway, Kasper Asgreen manages his sprint better and raises his arms in Bourg-en-Bresse.
Team member throughout the year, Kasper Asgreen gleans one of the greatest successes of his career, he who had triumphed in the Tour of Flanders in the past. By the way, the Soudal-Quick Step formation saves its Grande Boucle. As for Jasper Philipsen, he can still have a smile: barring an accident, he will be in green in Paris.
