Philipsen's third stage victory is a celebrationCyclist Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) won the final stage of the Benelux Tour in Leuven, marking his third victory in five days and securing overall victory in the race. The 183.7-km stage featured a challenging route partly overlapping with the 2021 World Championships course. Philipsen outpaced Italian Luca Mozzato (Tudor Pro) and Dutch Mikkel van der Weijden (XDS Astana) in the sprint finish. Slovenian cyclist Matej Mohorič finished 28th overall, over a minute behind Philipsen. Another Slovenian rider, Olav Kooij (Decathlon CMA CGM), came in third in the general classification. This was the first time since 2018 that Mohorič had competed in the Benelux Tour, where he previously shared the overall win. Meanwhile, experienced Slovenian cyclist Luka Mezgec (Jayco AlUla) retired early from the race, passing the baton to younger teammates.
