Team News: Fuglsang wins Ruta Del Sol
The 66th edition of the Vuelta a Andalucía finished with a short time trial in Mijas today where race leader Jakob Fuglsang put in a strong performance out on the course, taking the same time as the stage winner Teuns. Two stages wins, two second places and a sixth for Astana’s Jakob Fuglsang who repeated his overall victory in the Ruta Del Sol in 2019 to win for the second year in a row and give his team Astana their first general classification victory of the season.
Today (Sunday, Feb 23rd), the 66th edition of the Vuelta a Andalucía had its final big showdown with a 13km short time trial in the city of Mijas. The second last rider from the Kazakh team was Ion Izagirre. He rode a solid race by finishing the course 17 seconds behind the later stage winner Teuns, which saw him take fourth place in the general classification at the end of the day.
Jakob Fuglsang, leader of the race, went up the road as the last rider of the day, at 15:20 and put in a strong performance. The Danish rider set the second-best time at the intermediate checkpoint and crossed the line after 17:57 minutes to take second only 0.8 seconds behind Teuns. With two stage wins, Jakob Fuglsang made it back-to-back wins at the Ruta del Sol, winning the race two years in a row.

Jakob Fuglsang: “It was a good time trial and, in the end, it was super close. I am really happy that I could repeat my overall win here. It’s amazing to start the season by winning this race again. Last year I had the best season of my career so far and I hope that repeating this win means I can do the same again. It’s been a very hard race and we had a lot of hard competition to defend the jersey from the first day but the team has been amazing.”
“I am the winner but so is the team. Of course, for me it was important to keep the jersey but with a short and intense TT, you have to give everything and I didn’t want to take to many risks on the descent so to finish second, I am really happy. I hope it will be a good season and starting like this with a good result here gives me confidence and I can now work towards my next goals.”
