Jasper Philipsen won the Classic Brugge De-Panne in a sprint finish on Wednesday, following up on his Milan San-Remo success at the weekend.

The Belgian cyclist edged out compatriot Tim Merlier to snatch victory for the second year in a row, while Dutchman Danny van Poppel came third in the 198.9km race.

Philipsen won a stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico in Italy earlier this month. He took the green sprint points jersey at last year's Tour de France after winning four stages.
