The hilly parcours will probably see a fight between the home teams Gjensidige and Tafjord.
There has been no breakaway, but a split occurred over the first ascent of the day with 22 riders in the first group.
Some more riders made it to the front group and Halvorsen attacked in the second climb. He looks pretty spent at the top when Sleen tries to bridge across.
There were some more attacks in the descent and flat and in the end Sleen leads a group of 11 riders into the final climb with 1.5 km to go. Behind him are Eiking and Leknessund.
Eiking leads in front of Dyrnes with 500 m to go.
But the favourite was in the wind too early and in the end Dyrnes wins the race! Leknessund and Galta were really close though.
Congrats to Dyrnes!

[NC] Time Trial
The favourites are Leknessund, Knotten and Haugard, but there are quite some others who could get in the mix.
Waerenskjold sets the first competitive time in 1h00’39.
Vangstad was close by at both splits and finishes s.t. with the leader, but he is slower by the fractions. (I missed one of the two, but don’t asked me which one.)
Korsaeth beats the best time by 45’’ and is the new leader.
Foss doesn’t have the best day, he’s only 4th at the moment.
Haugard does better with a new best time of 59’50.
Leknessund is another 15’’ faster.
Knotten is the last rider on the road. And he beats the leading time by 2’’ to take the title!
