Fabio Jakobsen wins Vuelta 2021 Stage 4 (copyright ASO, Photogomezsport)Vuelta Stage 4: Fabio Jakobsen wins stage a year on from horror crash
Fabio Jakobsen of Deceuninck-Quick Step has won Stage 4 of the Vuelta a Espana, a year on from the horrific crash at the Tour of Poland last year that almost cost him his life.
On a tough finish in Molina de Aragon, the 24-year-old former Dutch national champion came round Arnaud Demare of Groupama-FDJ to win, with Magnus Cort of EF Pro Cycling third.
Rein Taaramae of Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert retains the race leader’s red jersey despite a late crash towards the end of the 163.9km stage from El Burgo de Osma.
The crash happened inside the final 3km, which on a flat stage means that the Estonian was given the same time as the main group.
Full report to follow.
"This is also their victory. They are the reason I'm here."
After winning Stage 4 of La Vuelta, @FabioJakobsen paid tribute to the people who helped him back from last year's crash 🎥

TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.
That's a great price. Just bear in mind Import duty and handling charges will be applied pre delivery.
Yep, I appreciate your problem. I wouldn't buy a bike without at least sitting on the same frame configuration on a trainer in the shop, something...
One less thing to clutter up your jersey pockets no? Though difficult to retrieve in a hurry...
