Career[]

During the 2019 Vuelta a España Jakobsen won two stages, including the final stage of the race on stage 21 in Madrid.

A few metres before the finish of the 1st stage in the 2020 Tour de Pologne he heavily crashed after Dylan Groenewegen deviated from his line, forcing Jakobsen into the barriers. The race doctor initially reported that Jakobsen had suffered several major injuries, including serious brain trauma and damage to the upper respiratory tract, a broken palate, and heavy blood loss, and was in life-threatening condition.^[4][5] On 7 August 2020, the race organisers announced that Jakobsen was out of the induced coma and in "good condition".^[6] On 18 August 2020, Jakobsen said that he was "glad to be alive" following the crash.^[7] Jakobsen returned to professional racing at the Presidential Tour of Turkey on 11 April 2021.

Jakobsen entered the 2021 Vuelta a España, where he once again won two stages, stage four and stage eight. He was also involved in the battle for the Points Classification exchanging the jersey with Jasper Philipsen early in the race before reclaiming and keeping it after stage 8. Philipsen abandoned the race a few stages later leaving climber Magnus Cort and overall contender Primož Roglič as his closest opponents in the classification. Following several intermediate, high mountain stages and a rest day, the race returned to a flat stage on stage 16, which Jakobsen won.^[8] He also tightened his grip on the points classification building a lead of well over a hundred points on Matteo Trentin, who rose to 2nd place.
