About Jakob Fuglsang
Jakob Diemer Fuglsang is a Danish former professional road racing cyclist. Before turning professional for Team Saxo Bank, he was a mountain biker racing for Team Cannondale–Vredestein, winning the Under-23 World Cup and Under-23 World Championships. He retired in June 2025 at the end of the Giro d'Italia. For the 2006 season Fuglsang rode his first year as a professional mountain biker for Cannondale-Vredestein. Despite having signed the contract, Fuglsang's manager wanted him to wait as his market value could inflate if he won Danmark Rundt which he did the following day. He has also won several other stage races during his career including Danmark Rundt 3 times in a row from 2008 to 2010, Tour de Luxembourg and Tour of Austria in 2012, and Tour of Slovenia in 2009. He had been in contact with Team Saxo Bank, and the deal was finally signed the day before he won Danmark Rundt.
