Another classics podium, this time in Paris-Tours. A rider who can podium both Tre Valli Varesine and Paris-Tours is automatically an interesting rider to look out for. Means he can probably do well in any classic.
I was perhaps most impressed he did so well in Emilia which was the type of terrain I was not sure about whether he could make an impression in the first few years of his career at pro level. So indeed might play a role in any classic on the calendar.
Today he looked like the strongest on the hills to me, but missed a little bit of power to build upon the small gaps he got on the flat off road sections.
Nonetheless super impressive performance because he was spending way more energy in the 60-30km to go zone by attacking and counter attacking then guys like Vacek, Laporte and Trentin were spending.

'There's still a lot to learn' - Albert Withen Philipsen impresses with Paris-Tour podium

According to PCS he is starting his season at Kuurne on Sunday but that is his only listed race so information is surprisingly sparse for such a hotly touted young rider.

he was originally supposed to have already started his season . from his december interviews , it seems like he was meant to race with the classics core ( so valenciana and provence )
i still think he will do most of the cobbled classics
then in summer they will evaluate whether or not he will do the vuelta ( which he hopes to do )

Decent ride today to finish in the top 10 even though he lacked the legs in the final sprint.
Surely in a couple of years time, he will able to hang in with the likes of Remco and win a sprint.

Very good to see him at this level after quite a unlucky and therefore poor start to the season. At only 19 years he looks to become a superb rider for these races.

Should target the hilly one day races initially and later shift to the cobbles. Follow the Career path of Gilbert and if the starts align, he can win all five monuments.
Very good to see him at this level today after a lackluster spring so far.
