Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck-Quick-Step) has said that he’s equally scared, nervous, and excited about his highly anticipated return to the peloton at the Tour of Turkey.
Sunday will be the first time the Dutch sprinter has donned a race number since his awful crash at the Tour of Poland last August. Though he has put in the training kilometers to get himself ready to race, Jakobsen doesn’t know how he’ll react when he finds himself in the thick of a bunch sprint for the first time in eight months.
