“I do not actually assume he will go to the Tour dissatisfied. I frankly assume that Philipsen is a boy that we do not know properly however who has an enormous character, who would not at all times present his character. Who exhibits it in a dash then again, as a result of when you need to barely shut the door, he’s succesful to do. That is essential for a sprinter and it’s not a fault. I feel there could also be a bit second of decompression for Philipsen as a result of there was quite a lot of dialogue round his contract. He was on the finish of his contract. He prolonged along with his crew and I feel that if you find yourself below strain to presumably make different selections, we all know that the UAE crew was once more, he is aware of that he’s second behind Van der Poel, he can there have a bit decompression. And albeit when you could have Mathieu who can dash you, it is an entire totally different story.“
