Gino Mäder and safety foremost for Jakobsen after second Belgium Tour win
Dutchman criticises ‘dangerous bend 300 metres from finish’ ✱on stage 5

Fabio Jakobsen pointed skywards in honour of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gino Mäder when he won the final stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour in Brussels on Sunday, dedicating his latest sprint win to the Swiss rider who died in hospital in Chur from injuries sustained in a crash on the descent of the Albulapass in the finale💎 of stage 5.
"This one was obviously for Gino Mäder, who we will all miss. Tꦐhis is the only thing I can do for him," Jakobsen said afterwards according to "The last two days have not been easy for anyone. Especially not for his family and friends."
Jakobsen, who suffered a near-fatal crash in a downhill spriওnt in the Tour de Pologne in 🌺2020, criticised the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Baloise Belgium Tour stage 5 finish in Brussels, which included a corner with 300 metres to go, saying it was “just aski💃ng for trou𝕴ble.”
He expressed confidence that a soon-to-beღ-launched safety organisation, SAROC, would hopefully resolve safe📖ty issues.
"I heard that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jasper ﷽Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck)” - the winner of stage 1 - “almost fell and many others go🐓t into trouble. I think that should not be allowed in the last half kilometre.”
Jakobsen won two stages and finished second in another during the five-day Baloise Belgium Tour, indicating ಞthat his preparations for the Tour de Fran꧂ce looked to be on track.
The Dutch sprinter will be looking to repeat his stage victory in the rꦰace. After two wins in Belgium, and with his S𒁏oudal-QuickStep team clearly honed for sprint action, the omens are all good.

"We are happy with our performance here, but the goal is of course the Tour," Jakobsen told sporza.be.
"Everyone stayed on the bike and my legs are getting better and better. So from now on it's important to stay healthy for Le Grand Départ."
Jakobsen's fℱinal race date prior to heading to Bilbao for July 1st will be the Dutch National Championships. However Jakobsen warned that Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), the overall winner of the Baloise Belgium Tour, would be the big favour🃏ite next Saturday.
