Almost a year after his terrible crash in the Tour de Pologne, Fabio Jakobsen has revealed a new smile after major reconstruction dentistry work and confirmed he will soon begin training at altitude in preparation to ride the Vuelta a España. 

The Deceuninck-QuickStep sprinter crashed at high speed when fellow Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen deviated from his line at 80km/h in Katowice, forcing Jakobsen into the flimsy barriers, which gave way upon impact. Groenewegen was given a nine-month suspension by the UCI Disciplinary Commission and only returned to racing at the Giro d’Italia.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
