Jakob Fuglsang showed he is a great condition at Amstel Gold Race. The Astana Pro Team rider attacked with 6km to go but found no cooperation with his lone breakaway companion. But the Danish rider told Ekstra Bladet about the Astana case. He says Astana riders are ready to take the Union Cycliste Internationale to court if his team lost its WorldTour status.
“I have not done anything wrong, so if UCI take my job away from me, so I think it ends up in a lawsuit,” he explained. “If the team loses its license, it is likely that our sponsors withdraw, as they probably will not sponsor a team without access to the big races.”
“Then us riders will suddenly be in a situation where we are from one day to the other without work. If that happens, then I expect a lawsuit from all the riders’ side against UCI, as it is the UCI which has taken away our work, and it’s up to the UCI to cover our losses”, he added.
This Wednesday, he will ride La Flèche Wallonne and this weekend, Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
