At some point this kind of rude riding was going to catch with Philipsen. It's about time he get a reprimand

[@zxtsf]

Yasper philipsen 3 times in 2023 and now 4th time Blocking

[@Sulullta]

Yes on stage 3 he blocked Wout Van Aert and Biniam Girmay on stage 7

[@BereketKiflemariam]

Him blok bini and van aert

Jasper the disaster Classless rider

[@user-xb2qw4tq5g]

Relegate him.

[@rmeveva8299]

Jasper the disaster is the road bump of the cycling world. Yes a classes rider. I remember last year, the disaster literally stopped another rider from attacking

[@theviewerisgone]

UCI is being as reckless as Philipsen by not penalizing his way of riding/competing.

[@bntk8889]

He is a danger

[@nobodydobon]

Yes he is a really strong sprinter. But it seems like he cant win in a fair sprint

[@Judewilkinsonjfk]

Some reckless riding last season and he doesn't seem to have learnt this time round.

[@Fr4nkju5tFr4nk]

He was even proud of it in the Netflix Tour 2003 docu series! He loves to endanger the other riders. He is an arrogant and dangerous beeeeeeeep.

[@irinaprotasova229]

He's doing it on purpose, it needs to end. Endangering and blocking others in such way should not be tolerated

[@LdyVder]

And the UCI and Tour officials did nothing last season.

[@starlitshadows]

​@@Fr4nkju5tFr4nk yep, I noticed that watching the series. He brushed it off too and acted like he did nothing wrong. Which is why he is still doing it. Glad he finally got called on it.

[@allisonking785]

He did that to Girmay last year.

[@SmithJames-uw4bl]

Is dangerous

[@LdyVder]

He almost put Wout in the barriers last year. Jumbo-Visma complained, officials looked at it and did nothing.

[@sciencerefugee3042]

So jasper disaster opted to block a rider and lose the race to another

[@silkfatblues]

i aplaude him for that 😂

[@Bultish]

once again, finally a reprimand 👍 Win fair or go home

[@markdonovan1540]

That kid has anger issues and deep seated aggression from childhood. He shouldn't be allowed to compete until he gets proper help for his problems. Old school sprinters probably thinks it's all good, as long as there are no accidents. The only one doing anything to avoid an accident was Wout Van Aert, but Jasper The Disaster doesn't give a toss about anyone but himself. His decision to go to the barrier beggars belief, he had a clear run ahead of him and actually wasted time by going off his line. Maybe he thought WVA might come through, so played his typical nasty move to cut him off. By doing so he lost 1st place, then got relegated. What a prize fool he has been. Unless he recognises this and takes responsibility to change his attitude, he will live to regret it. It's a shame, because he is a very fast sprinter, just needs self-control and to use his head and not be a danger to others.

[@johnharris1543]

Why doesn’t the ICU act? This is recidivist poor behaviour.

[@JamesLee-qy3cl]

Should have happened last year as well...

[@GBatAP]

He lost because of this. I mean he lost because he wasted the best lead out you'll ever seen but if just goes straight instead of worrying about wout, he likely beats DG to the line

[@tak-el-uc]

UCI needs to prioritize safety. Pinching another rider into the barriers in a straight sprint run into the finish should be penalized every time.

[@Bushi0001]

Jasper disaster is a chaotic sprinter he doesn’t care about his sprinter line and obviously doesn’t care about other sprinters safety.

[@mariogonzalez-yc9ys]

Jasper is Dirty

[@CLONisKING]

he deserved this, I saw this life and i was like, man Wout is probably so furious right now. Philipsen can't get away with it and he finally didn't That is not how you win a sprint.

[@DesaleFlibo]

The team has all rights to appeal against the decision by UCI. But the team knows that he had massive open road to his right and he never sprinted straight , he has been doing this dirty ride last year , not any more now . Van aert is a very humble and clean rider . Well done UCI

[@alexcruzpr]

What happened to the video continuation?

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

He needs to be banned for life b4 he kills someone

[@bennnzzzz]

@@alaefarmestatesllc by this logic every sprinter would be banned for life after fighting for position on the barriers 😂

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

@@bennnzzzz u do realize he squeezes people into the barriers all the time right? It’s not an accident.

[@bennnzzzz]

@@alaefarmestatesllc it’s a dangerous sport. don’t watch if it’s too scary for ya

[@danshort10]

I wonder though if he won the sprint if he gets relegated. Last year he didn’t

[@farmboyjude1078]

He cant sprint to hold his line he always do that, he should be banned.

[@gedammedhanie6427]

What he did was wrong. It was the exact same scenario as stage 3 between mads and Bini. Mads saw that Bini is almost as high as him and he can not close it anymore without both of them falling and he let it open. Had it been that Mads or Philipsen were a bike length ahead they can close it, both cases they were not and as such they should not. Mads fought with honour and lost, Philipsen fought without grace and lost. Respect WVA that he let it be without endangering himself, philipsen and many more others.

[@dylanauker4031]

The UCI spends time penalizing people for kissing their wife, wearing the wrong kit, etc but they let this reckless and life threatening stuff go on year after year. Priorities.

[@Sulullta]

There's no red card? 😂😂😂

[@davidtt8372]

Shady tactics from a shady team. Leadership were pretty clear that they don't care what they have to do is long as they win. Shady leadership makes shady riders. I don't remember any stories about MVDP beating up teenage girls and spitting on fans before Alpecin.

[@jojotheemperor2217]

Brotha MVDP is an awesome human being, he didn't do anything to those girls and he spat on people who were annoying him all race. Thats just not being a pussy.

[@freta8953]

Correct me if wrong, aren’t these both rider from same team?

[@user-eb5yx5lb3d]

I hope he was learn some thing, his rank back to 145

[@user-zj3mg4lt3y]

Jasper, Disaster!

[@palexander5090]

Lil-PP-sen ought to be "adjudicated" by the peloton, severely! A mid-season injury would do well to keep him from REoffending.

[@wedi2558]

Philipsen should be punished,he is blocking Bini.

[@Mark-mh3hu]

Dani, WVA eased the gas cause he doesn’t wanna end up like Fabio.

[@taga-bakilid3332]

Jasper last year he did the same with wout van Aert now during sprint but he get away with but not today

[@jhands1988]

Did the exact same thing last year and wasn’t relegated. It was either illegal last year or it wasn’t illegal this year.

[@pointbreak2811]

Phillipsen is faster than Van Aert? Lol

[@ah274able]

This lady hasn't learned from last year as well. He blocked Biniam Ghirmay as well last year. In every way he breaks the rules every now and then by riding diagonal. Very selfish and dangerous rider who only care about winning not the safety of the whole group of sprinters.

[@p-m9459]

Not sure they would disqualify other riders while most them ride as hard, especially Girmay, but maybe there is something else than riding at stake...

[@Thoth19]

JASPER is the DIRTIEST rider in TDF!!!! Should be banned.

[@miyui9269]

with so many similar incidents, he should be banned for life already. he is not an important figure anyway.

[@f1jj220]

UCI needs take some action on this guy because he does that dangerous stuff multiple times !!!!

[@mr.forbes7300]

Yet you get fined and given a two minute penalty for kissing your wife

[@Szymas1000]

Świecie co się dzieje angielska baba ze stylem z Wales Shore opowiada w TV o kolarstwie

[@Anonymous-wr8hs]

Did it again today

[@mariannenelson]

Karma is teaching you a lesson, Jasper. The Tour is too classy for you. Looks like you're not the fastest cyclist in the world as you like to keep saying. Hope you can mature a bit and return to compete fairly.

[@rmeveva8299]

Taster the disaster will start trying to push binimiam to the barricades because he cannot stand losing to biniam Girmay IWC.

[@rmeveva8299]

*Yasper the disaster

[@alimovahed6073]

Very arrogant rider

[@ovt8454]

bros discussing this like Norris Verstappen incident at Austria 💀💀💀

[@user-so4hw2db5z]

Sono i rischi di stare a ruota fino a dieci metri dall'arrivo 😏

[@bennnzzzz]

if van aert doesn’t have the speed to hold jasper on his shoulder then he has to give up the barrier. simple.

[@davidjames3080]

bollocks. How do you know he wasn't saving a bit to accelerate? You don't. Many other sprinters wouldn't have given up pedalling like WVA had to, and a crash would have been the result, caused by Disaster man.

[@bennnzzzz]

@@davidjames3080 if you know anything about sprinting in a bunch (which you obviously don’t) once you give up the shoulder and are going backwards, you give up the position. just wva getting into a spot he obvs doesn’t have the legs for once again

[@peterfireflylund]

@@bennnzzzzI don’t think you know much about sprinting (and you clearly don’t).

[@bennnzzzz]

@@peterfireflylund haha yeah years spent racing professionally i got no clue 😂 it’s a dangerous sport brutha, if you armchair experts can’t handle it maybe don’t watch
