When has Fuglsang become a good descender? He has always been pretty cautious, at least the last couple of years - stuck in 2010 like his good time trial?
He's always been a good decender, because of his mountain bike background (he was U23 world champ)
Countless times as a domestique, he's been dropped ahead of the summit, and made it back up to Nibali on the decent,
and as late as last years tour and dauphine, you saw him make up time on decents.
And cautious? - Dude, he made up time going down 2 big mountains last year, after getting dropped going up (due to breaking his back and wrist the day before)......... because of the broken wrist, he was forced to decend one-handed..... and still made up time - "Caution" indeed :lol:
So I don't quite know where you get the idea from, that he is not a good decender?
- He's always been considered one of the best decenders, who could actually attack going down, on par with the likes of Nibali, Bardet & Valverde.
