Congrats again Fabio!

Its great to not only see that his form is back, but that his mind is back! No one would blame him if he never wanted to mix it up in a field sprint again, but he has figured out how to take care of that in his head!

Fabio Jakobsen: Mark Cavendish’s green jersey win is a motivation at Vuelta a España

Hopefully he does get the points classification. I think it’ll come down to the last sprint stage as he and Philipsen are even.

Fabio looking good in the green two weeks into the Vuelta, hope he can hold on till the finish!

 

[SHAD0W93]

3 stage wins and barring disaster should have enough for green now.

Hope Fabio will get to celebrate his birthday tonight, things are going to get a bit rough for the sprinters from now on.

So, he probably shouldn't be celebrating it too much.

Yes, imagining Fabio showing up all hungover for tomorrow's stage would not be a good look, you definitely have a point. But hopefully he'll at least get a sip of that libation that the riders haven't been able to enjoy on the podium so far.

Being hungover would make chasing the time limit tomorrow even less fun…

Time limits in the Vuelta are a joke. I don't doubt some jokesters on here could have a crack at them, though I wouldn't really put myself in there.

he pretty much had to do this after the “if you are a leadout, lead out! and congrats on your win” fiasco.

Woooooo - Fabio!

Okay, just one more stage to go on the dreaded TT bike (I've never had the pleasure to ride one, but can only guess what it would look like if I did) - let's go Fabio!

That's really heartwarming. Say what you want about Lefevere but you probably wouldn't see that from every team...

 

[jmdirt]

He is winning way too much to have his thread shuffled down so far!

WOOHOO Fabio!

 

[Lequack]

He's unbeatable at the moment

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Think only Ewan can compete with him on pure speed alone. He won 6 out of 7 contested sprints. The 7th he lost because of positioning, not speed.

I don't think so. I think Ewan is closer to being caught by Philipsen atm than he is to matching Jakobsen.

It does look like Philipsen upped his game this year

I think he's up there with Merlier, Cavendish, Ewan... haven't seen too much of Groenewegen or Bennett this year yet. But i think Jakobsen at the moment is easily a step above all of them.

Cant think of a sprint Jakobsen won that a good Ewan or Cavendish wouldnt have cleaned up from the same position l

How can one even make such assessments?

I can think of a lot of sprints where Ewan would definitely have been out of position where Jakobsen was not.

Dank fields and great leadouts mostly. Its not very hard.
