Well hasn't Jakob proved you wrong sir?El Pistolero said:at least he's not over-rating his abilities like so many other riders. Fuglsang thinking he deserves to be a leader of a WT team at the Tour for example...

He won a stage in Catalunya and placed 3rd in the first ITT in TDF, so even based on this years (poor) results he should be able to find a decent team. Very surprising that no one has picked him up yet...movingtarget said:Sounds like money is an issue for him. Maybe he is asking for too much or maybe managers know something we don't. You would think a Giro podium would count for something even though the 12 months since has been poor. There has to be other reasons it can't simply be that teams don't want him.

search said:according to his manager Vacansoleil (the company) has to respect the contracts for 2014 and continue to pay the salary
so if that's true, not riding at all would propably be the financially most fruitful decision
