Jasper Philipsen shines in the sprint in the second stage of the Tirreno
Euskaraz irakurri: Jasper Philipsen sprints gailendu da Tirrenoko bigarren stagen
The Belgian cyclist Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won the second stage of the Tyrrhenian-Adriaticcontested between Camaiore and Follonica over 198 kilometers, in a sprint that he completely dominated and that was the highlight of a day in which the Spaniard Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) defended his ‘maglia azzurra’ as overall leader without any problems.
There could have been a final battle, but it was not like that because Jasper Philipsenin his first sprint of 2024, which at the cycling level is still beginning, showed that he is as strong or stronger than in the past and prevailed with authoritarian superiority over his rivals.
In general, Spanish Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) continues to lead after winning the initial time trial on Monday, with 1 second of margin over the Italian Filippo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers). This Wednesday, the third stage between Volterra and Gualdo Tadino (225 kilometers) will end on a high after an up and down profile, so some change could be seen in the general classification.
