Dutchman racks up two wins in Valenciana, reports Vern Pitt
Fabio Jakobsen made an impressive start to his campaign to be the sprinter that his Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl team take to the Tour de France, winning two stages of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana last week.
The young Dutchman is in competition with team-mate Mark Cavendish to be the team’s chosen sprinter at this year’s Tour.
While the Manxman won four stages in 2021 team manager Patrick Lefevere has said he favours the younger rider and in an interview last September said: “I will not go to the Tour with two sprinters next year.” Jakobsen revealed last month that his schedule includes the Tour while Cavendish will head to the Giro d’Italia.
