Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) just days after taking out the Bredene Koksijde Classic and GP Jean-Pierre Monser\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Philipsen, who lost most of his teammates in the crosswind chaos of the final 10 kilometres, was boxed in until Gerben Thijssen finally ushered him to the front with 300 metres to go, but it was too early. Groenewegen slotted onto his wheel and then dashed past to victory. Max Kanter (XDS Astana) finished third.<\/p>\n<p id=\"c9f9b499-7f5a-44c4-b2b4-de53ac4cac57-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">The victory was yet another major success for Unibet Rose Rockets, Groenewegen&#8217;s new team, and their sprint coach Marcel Kittel.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/KxqjKyvCQ3NM83oaQCxewh-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/KxqjKyvCQ3NM83oaQCxewh-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">Bredene Koksijde Classic: Dylan Groenewegen speeds to victory as break caught in finale of hectic race<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/B62rpGhx285hCCaRditVRH-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/B62rpGhx285hCCaRditVRH-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">GP Jean-Pierre Monser\u00e9: Dylan Groenewegen blasts through final metres and denies breakaway for victory<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2EFUH6DvSCaGjqiCme9HgB-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2EFUH6DvSCaGjqiCme9HgB-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">As it happened: Reduced bunch sprints for victory at end of windy day at Ronde Van Brugge<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;It&#8217;s quite a good week so far in Belgium,&#8221; Groenewegen said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">It&#8217;s also typical Belgium weather &#8211; it was a really hard race with the wind not only, we had some rain, so it was quite hard finish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">The 32-year-old had to overcome a puncture which took some time to resolve, leaving him riding the flat tyre for several kilometres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;We managed to stay calm, and did a really good job in the end.

Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) just days after taking out the Bredene Koksijde Classic and GP Jean-Pierre Monser\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Philipsen, who lost most of his teammates in the crosswind chaos of the final 10 kilometres, was boxed in until Gerben Thijssen finally ushered him to the front with 300 metres to go, but it was too early. Groenewegen slotted onto his wheel and then dashed past to victory.
