Astana's Jakob Fuglsang will be on the lookout for a new coach after long-time trainer Rune Larsen parted ways with the Kazakh WorldTour team. According to Danish news site ekstrabladet.dk, former mountain biker Fuglsang, who goes into his 13th season as a professional road rider in 2019, has worked with Larsen for his whole career, but will face next season without him. "There are some things that the team's management and I don't agree on," Larsen told the website by way of explanation. "I'm annoyed that they want to go in one direction, whereas they're annoyed that I want to go in another. It's therefore best that we part ways, and that it happens without there being any bad blood between us.ADVERTISEMENT "Most teams these days want their riders to use trainers from within the team, which is the case with Astana," continued Larsen. "I think that I could still get some good results out of Jakob, but there are probably others who can, too. And maybe it'll be good for Jakob to try something new, but we won't lose touch. We're still friends, and we'll stay in contact." Fuglsang told Danish broadcaster TV2 yesterday that he intends on targeting the Tour de France next season.
