Philipsen sprints from breakaway to win Tour de France stage 17
Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck won stage 17 of the Tour de France in a sprint finish from a breakaway. The 174.7km stage from Chambéry to Voiron saw the Belgian rider prove fastest against his breakaway companions.
Given Alpecin's tactics, was Philipsen's stage 17 win a masterclass in teamwork or simply a case of having the strongest sprinter?
