The two also lost a sure victory at the Amstel Gold Race. This time, however, the Astana rider attacked on the final climb with 15 km to go and only 2 km further down the road, he was clear of all the competitors. It looked like the victory was in the bag but it wouldn\u2019t be Fuglsang if he wouldn\u2019t provide at least one suspenseful moment. With 5 km to the finish line, the Dane crouched over his handlebars and his back wheel slipped out. Luckily for him, he somehow managed to hold the slide. In the end, Fuglsang crossed the finish line 27 seconds before Davide Formolo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\ude31 Quel acrobate !
