at the Top among the 15 candidates is the Danish Jakob Fuglsang, and he gets the nice words on the way.
– the Dane is perhaps not quite up among most of the people bid for a Tour de France winner, but he flies higher than all the other big names at the moment.
Riders like Chris Federer cares may not be about to achieve at this stage of the season, but for Fuglsang you sense the importance of self-confidence blossoms, says the Cyclingnews.
Fuglsang age of 34 years on Friday, and has had a tremendous spring, as also the international spring have noticed it.
– Fuglsang, who won the Critérium du Dauphiné two years ago, and recently finished as number 12 in the Tour de France, began its season with a sixth place finish in the Vuelta a Murcia.
– So he won the Ruta del Sol with a second place on the hard åbningsetape and tidskørslen on 3. stage.
– After moving to Italy he finished second in Strade Bianche behind by Julian Alaphilippe (so far) has been the sovereign rider this season, and so ended up he also on slutpodiet in the Tirreno-Adriatico after a big man in Recanati, sounds in the grounds.
