Astana want to "ride this wave as long as possible" while the victories keep rolling in: three in the last 24 hours with Jakob Fuglsang celebrating in Tirreno-Adriatico and Ion Izagirre in Paris-Nice on Sunday.

Fuglsang climbed to hilltop town of Recanati 24 hours after his team-mate Alexey Lutsenko fought for stage fourAin Italy. Fuglsang's solo ride came just minutes before Ion Izagirre's win in Paris-Nice.
