CyclingFriday, 17 June 2022 at 11:38
With the abandon of Alekandr Vlasov, Jakob Fuglsang has become the new leader of the Tour de Suisse and will be starting stage 6 as the yellow jersey in the race.
The Dane had ridden a very strong start to the race, and riding himself into third yesterday in Novazzano, enough to launch him into second on the overall classification. With the abandon of Vlasov this morning due to Covid-19 the 37-year old has unexpectedly jumped into the race lead, however not all is bright for Israel - Premier Tech...
One of Fuglsang's key lieutenants for the mountains Sebastian Berwick pulled out of the race as he tested positive for Covid. His roommate Reto Hollenstein was also removed from the race as a precaution. The team is now down to five riders and in a vulnerable position into the mountains.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
