Jakob Diemer Fuglsang (born 22 March 1985) is a Danish professional racing cyclist for UCI ProTeamAstana. Before turning professional for Team Saxo Bank, he was a mountain biker racing for Team Cannondale-Vredestein. He has won the U23 World Cup. He got his contract with Team Saxo Bank during the 2008 Danmark Rundt.
Career
Fuglsang won the Danmark Rundt three years in a row (2008, 2009, and 2010). He also won the Tour of Slovenia in 2009. In 2007 Fuglsang competed in the Absa Cape Epic with team mate Roal Paulissen, placing 2nd overall. He then came back to compete in the marathon stage race with Paulissen again in 2008, this time claiming the overall win. In 2010, he finished third in the Tour de Suisse and won the Denmark National Time Trial Championships which he later won it again in 2012. In 2011, he finished 4th in the Tour de Suisse and 11th in the Vuelta a España.
In 2012, Fuglsang followed the Schleck brothers to RadioShack–Nissan. He was slated to be his team's leader in the Giro d'Italia, but had to withdraw due to knee problems and was replaced with Fränk Schleck. Fuglsang later won the Tour de Luxembourg, taking the overall classification jersey in the queen stage to Differdange and then defending his lead with the help of his team for the fourth and final stage in Luxembourg City. The last stage had to be shortened by 47km (29mi) by the organizers due to heavy rain. He was then excluded from the Tour de France by the RadioShack–Nissan team management after he criticized them. He stated that he wanted to race for another squad in the next season since he was not happy with the way things were going within the team. Instead of competing in France, he went on to win the Tour of Austria Overall Classification and the fourth stage of the race. His lead over the second placed rider Steve Morabito of BMC Racing Team was a minute and 24 seconds when the Tour concluded.
