The Arctic Race of Norway starts with a challenging stage. In 182 kilometers, riders have to cover 2,400 meters of elevation gain. The climbs are short but challenging, with the hardest part coming 30 kilometers from the finish, with the climb to Storjorda. Can anyone prevent a sprint, or will there be action in the GC right from the start? If it does come down to a sprint, it will have to happen on a vicious uphill stretch.

Winner
Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech)

Once again, there are quite a few meters of elevation gain, although most of them are tackled in a difficult opening phase. From Tennevoll, there are two tough climbs, but it will be easier towards the finish. The road in Sørreisa is a bit up and down, and there are also two intermediate sprints in the final, which is a recipe for a tricky finish.

Winner
Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X)

Now it's time for some real climbing! Much of the third stage is not particularly difficult, although it is rarely flat in Norway. But all attention will naturally be focused on the finish in Malselv. The final climb is 3.7 kilometers long and has an average gradient of 7.8%: this is where the differences will be made!

Winner
Tom Pidcock (Q36.5)

The final stage of the Arctic Race of Norway is, on paper, the easiest stage of the race, with only meters of elevation gain. But don’t be fooled, because the stage in Tromsø is constantly up and down. The climb to Presvannet is tackled no less than eight (!) times. This short climb is steep, so it will undoubtedly explode, especially if it is still exciting in the GC.

Winner
Fredrik Dversnes (Uno-X Mobility)  

Leading from start to finish doesn't happen often. But Corbin Strong managed to do just that in Norway. The New Zealander won the first stage and defended his lead admirably in the difficult third stage. Tom Pidcock (Q36.5) put him under pressure, but he couldn't knock him off the yellow jersey. Strong was also too strong in the final stage, winning his second stage race in a row after the Tour de Wallonie.
