Danish rider Jakob Fuglsang, winner of two Monuments and twice of the Criterium du Dauphine, announced yesterday that he would be retiring after the final stage of the Giro d’Italia, at the age of 40.
“The last stage of the Giro on Sunday will be my last race for Israel Premier Tech,” the Dane said in a video released by his team.
“I’ve had a fantastic career that has given me much more than I ever dreamed of. But all good things come to an end and it’s time for me to spend more time with my family and make way for the young riders.”
After beginning his professional career on mountain bikes, Fuglsang made a successful switch to the road.
