Jakob Fuglsang became the third different Saxo Bank rider in as many days to lead the Tour of Denmark after winning the third stage in Vejle.

CYCLING Jacob Fuglsang of Saxo Bank - 0

Fuglsang attacked on the final climb, followed by Matti Breschel (Saxo Bank) and Rasmus Guldhammer (Capinordic), and they caught Cervelo escapee Dominique Rollin.

The lead group of four had only 15 seconds advantage on the peloton when Fuglsang attacked again and he was pursued by Breschel plus Cervelo's Ignatas Konovalovas and Allen Johansen (Designa Kokken).

However Fuglsang held them off and won by 30 seconds from Breschel at the end of 185km ride with Ceraminca Flaminia's Maurizio Biondo finishing third.

Nicki Sorensen finished fourth on the stage, allowing Fuglsang to eke out a seven second lead in the overall standings with Breschel, who won Wednesday's opening stage, a further five seconds back in third.

  1. Amazing. How many riders have joined Saxo Bank and seen­ their careers rise. It doesn't matter if it's a­ regional race or the biggest stages. They bring a­ gameplan to win and do it over and over.

  2. Saxo have become a team to reckon with, through all­ levels of the pro team. Cycling has become much more­ interesting in the past 2 years (and for me Lance­ Armstrong's reentry to the sport makes it more so).­

    Let's have more success from Saxo Bank and Garmin­ and Confidis and .... all the rest too.
