168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jakob Fuglsang can finish in the top five of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia, and possibly on the podium, according to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:RadioShack-Nissan team manager Johan Bruyneel. He does not expect thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe Danish rider to win the race, but calls a top result🍬 “realistic”.

“It might not be possible for him to win the Giro d'Italia, but I think a realistic goal is to go after the top five. I will be happy with a fourth or fifth place - and if possible, why not also talk about getting on the podium,” Bruyneel told sporten.dk.

The main drawback may be the hand whiꦿch Fuglsang fractured in a crash in the Volta a Catalunya the end of March𓄧. ♊He said that it still hurts, but has now returned to racing at the Tour de Romandie.

“I think it's fine now. H𓂃e has had a delay in his preparation, but🔯 it's not necessarily a setback for him,” Bruyneel said. “The Giro d'Italia is a three-week run, and the last week is really hard, and therefore it is better to be a fresh start and strong for the last week. This is what you need for a big stage race, and I think Jacob can handle it.”

Bruyneel lauded his rider for losing “several kilos” over the winter, echoing sport director Kim Andersen's comments from last December that Fuglsang was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:too fat to win the Giro. The Dane is🌱 182 cm tall and last year weighe💙d 68.5 kg.

“Last year he was in good shape, but he had weaknesses on the end of the climbs when it  got really steep, so therefore over the winter he followed a strict diet and came to a good weight. When you have found the weight, it is easier to perform, and Jacob came in to the season cไonsiderably lighter than last year.”

Ivan Basso🥃 has named Fuglsang as one ﷺof his main competitors 🌄for the Giro, saying that he only perhaps needs more faith in himself. Bruyn𓆉eel agreed that Fuglsang could be on the verge of a great future.

“Jakob Fuglsang certainly has the qualities to make a top result in one of the grand tours. He is a good time tဣrial rider, and he goes with the best in the mountains, and if you add some experience, then he can come out ✃on top in the big race. He has qualities.”
