With 7 victories, 14 podiums and 19 top tens, the season just concluded was, in pure performance terms, the worst season for Jasper Philipsen since 2020.

It had been five years since the Belgian sprinter had collected so little, but in his partial defense, it must be said that the crashes he suffered in March at Nokere Koerse, and especially in July at the Tour de France (where he fractured his collarbone) were not insignificant and certainly impacted his overall balance and season's trajectory.

Despite various setbacks, Philipsen in 2025 still managed to achieve significant satisfactions, wearing the first yellow jersey at the Grande Boucle, winning Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne and conquering three stages at the Vuelta España.

With the idea of ultimately understanding how to evaluate the season of the '98 born rider from Mol, we took advantage of his presence at the Tour de France EFGH Singapore Criterium to personally ask him about it and, at the same time, learn about his plans for 2026, his perspective on rivals, winter preparation, the future of sprints, and more.
