Alpecin-Deceuninck's sports director stated that a decision regarding his racing future would be made the following day. Marit expressed remorse over the mishap, recognizing Philipsen's status as a top Milan-San Remo contender, highlighting the unfortunate timing of their collision just days before the major race.
