Jakob Fuglsang leads Israel - Premier Tech at Tour de Suisse: "I go into the race with a lot of confidence"
Cycling
Jakob Fuglsang has finished on the podium of the Tour de Suisse three times in the past (2010, 2018, and 2021). Now he is aiming for a fourth . Israel-Premier Tech has announced the rider list and the selection is built around the Dane.
"I'm really looking forward to testing myself in the Tour de Suisse, it’s definitely one of my favorite races on the calendar and one where I can do well," the 37-year old said ahead of the race. It feels like everything is falling into place just before the Tour de France, so this will be my last test. We have a strong team and I know I will have good support from the guys during the week. It would be nice to go for a stage win and be on the podium again." Fuglsang concludes.
The 37-year-old Fuglsang will be supported in the Tour of Switzerland by Daryl Impey, Hugo Houle, Krists Neilands, Reto Hollenstein and Sebastian Berwick. Patrick Bevin will also be part of the team but will be given a free role. The New Zealander has already won three times this season. He took a stage and the overall victory in the Tour of Turkey, before also achieving one-day success in the Tour of Romandie, and will be looking to replicate his success here.
Israel - Premier Tech for Tour de Suisse: Jakob Fuglsang, Sebastian Berwick, Patrick Bevin, Reto Hollenstein, Hugo Houle, Daryl Impey and Krists Neilands.

- Roglic could not have won anyway, after Jonas followed him when Roglic decided it was his turn for a stage win. Jonas had already attacked Kuss twice, so it was Jonas who was within seconds of taking the lead before Kuss was 'gifted' the win. It felt a bit like Roglic was being thrown under the bus when the team made his unhappiness public.Hills3314-11-2026
- POG1, another nice doc about our favourite, I watched most of it with a big smile on my face (except for the bits about his crashes 😢 obvs!).Lozza14-11-2026
- Martinez had a good year! 5th at the Tour was a great result for him, albeit largely through getting in successful breaks, but he held it better than Pidcock who’d done the same.Lozza14-11-2026
- guess what Valgren, you're 34, and no you're not good enough. sorry to say.mij14-11-2026
- I'm a sepp fan and like to think he earned that LOL, indulge me : ) I think Jonas was fine. Roglic did not want to concede to Sepp. and I don't think you ever attack your own teammate in the leaders jersey if he is holding his own, which Sepp just about was.mij14-11-2026
- enough time? he's 24 years old. He's won 10 races over the last 2 years and some are significant. I won't argue about his attitude being good - it needs to improve. But with some coaching and mentorship he has a lot of winning ahead of him and has plenty of time to win a GT. I don't think he will ever beat Tadej, but everyone else is fair game Look at Mas and Valverde - they were 31 and 29, respectively, when they won the Vuelta.mij14-11-2026
- Pogacar has a fine head on his shoulders.Careful investments and a couple of coffee shops sounds like a wonderful way to chill after an intense career.Stay healthy GOAT.

- I live in Ljubljana and often go on trips in the surrounding area, where I frequently see young cyclists in 'Pogi Team' jerseys training, either alone or in groups. By simply motivating so many young people to take up cycling, Tadej has already achieved something truly significant.Velijo14-11-2026
- That's an excellent point. It's interesting that Vader came to that realization only after he learned that his contract wasn't going to be renewed.
