Alpecin-Deceuninck, ahead of his best friend Tadeji Poganyal (UAE Team Emirates), took the top spot on the men's professional victory leaderboard in Stage 4 of the 2023 Turkish tour with 18 wins.

However, it was far from the red carpet lead-out that Phillipsen had won 18 in the past, but as he fought to find his own sprint lane in the final kilometer, he took a long way and had enough speed to win over Marmaris.

"After the Tour de France, we were just looking for a few goals left and I like to win, so the goal of becoming the champion of the year was a great goal for me to go," said Filipsen after Stage 4. "It also motivated me at the end of the season, which was not so easy, but I'm happy to be the king of victories.

"It doesn't mean much, but it means something to me, so it's always good."This is the first time a male rider has reached the mark of 2018 since Elia Viviani's 18 wins, highlighting just how prolific the Belgian sprinter has been during the season while riding on the quick-step floor.

8 of Phillipsen's victories came at World Tour level, with 4 at the Tour de France where he had his head and shoulders above the rest of the sprint field and claimed the Green Point classification jersey as well. Among his other victories include the Tirreno-Adriatico, the Renewi Tour, and the unofficial Sprinter Classic, a stage win at Scheldeprijs.

Filipsen has also been very efficient in the last 2 months of the season, scoring 11 out of 18 wins in just 7 race days, highlighting how well he has maintained his excellent form as the year 2023 approaches.

Colombia's Miguel Angel López in 2023 has 20 wins, but since he was sacked from Astana・Kazakhstan and moved to the Medellin EPM, he has fallen to the continental level, earning most of his 2.2 or national level victories, and only wins on the World Tour, .Pro, or .Pro. Count towards the overall winning leaderboard 1 level.

Lopez won the above 3 races.In 2023, he won Stage 2 at the Vuelta a San Juan and the National Championship of Colombia, but was temporarily suspended after the UCI was notified of a "possible violation of anti-doping rules."

Philipsen's victory was all.Level 1 and above makes him the most winning rider of the season and alongside this the 25-year-old also continues to prove he is more than just a bunch sprinter.

He took second place in Paris Roubaix after his teammate Mathieu van der Poel, and took the classic Bruges de Panne ahead of Olaf Kooy (Jumbo Visma).

The nickname of the "Jasper Disaster" built in the Tour de France: The first season of the Unchained Netflix series is far from a true Lang in 2023 with the more appropriate label "Jasper the Master" for the Peloton's top fastman.

Philipsen will search for more victories on the tour of Turkey in the remaining four stages, but only one of the profiles seems to be suitable for flat riders, so it will be another to reach a professional victory again in the 20 season, which was last achieved by male rider Alexander Christophe. You may have to wait for the year 2015.
