"I think there's something in relation to the fact that I've been an assistant to him in the past. Now I've been running strong this year and last year and this year I've been running faster than him. My feeling is that he's having a bit of a hard time swallowing it. "
The cold war has started!
I'll casually drop the link under his latest IG post then.This is great haha. It's on.
I don't think Nibali actually cared that much about it. Now, if he reads it, he'll care.
It is hard even as a tv viewer not to notice that Vincenzo is on Jakob's wheel almost all the time. But I think Jakob should just see it as a compliment - to have the dedicated attention of one of the sport's biggest campionissimos is something most riders would envy.https://www.bt.dk/cykling/fuglsangs-klumme-nibali-kan-stort-set-ikke-hilse-paa-mig

It's on. Stare contest, trophy cabinet trash talk, you name it.This is great haha. It's on.

If I recall correctly he was known as a "super-dom" even back then and received nothing but praise for his support of Nibali in the 2014 Tour de France and 2016 Giro d'Italia.It's hard to believe that when Nibali won the Tour, Jakob was just one of his helpers. Look at them now...
Outside of the cobbled stage he really did not do a lot. Initially he was allowed to protect his own position in both races but he was really bad in the mountains. Still finished 12th in the GC in 2016. Fuglsang has never been a great mountain-dom. Scarponi was the real hero in both races.If I recall correctly he was known as a "super-dom" even back then and received nothing but praise for his support of Nibali in the 2014 Tour de France and 2016 Giro d'Italia.
He actually says in the article that they get on well off the bike. A bit misleading titleWell, they never liked each other much, no mystery there.![]()
But it was consistent with the way Trek acted in every single descent prior to Fuglsangs puncture. When the peleton goes downhill Trek is at the front. Was the same today.Jakob mad:
"To be completely honest, I stuck to Nibali a bit afterwards. As I drove past him, I told him he had better watch out the next time he stopped to pee. That he should choose his moment with care. He did not quite understand the fun of it and went into defensive position.
“No, no, that was not the intention. If we really wanted to lead, we would have led through, ”he explained.
The fact is that Trek picked up 1.5-2 minutes on the descent in relation to the eruption, which did not run slowly either. So they have given that gas on the way down.
Once the Giro is over, Astana and Trek are probably not best friends. But it's part of the game."

Hopefully they haven't kissed.Alas, Jakob and Vincenzo have kissed and made up.

Wonder what word that got translated from.Those columns by Fuglsang are enjoyable to read, although Google Translate does pose some problems. A few days ago I read about Fuglsang's three husbands. I assume that should be teammates.
Yeah... "passed away" usually refers to something else.The Italians have had my column translated and they see us as the two biggest favorites after Geraint Thomas and Simon Yates have passed away.
