Three strong sprinters, but also some good rouleurs in Norway.
UBS’ Haugard, Tryg’s Johannessen and Colombini’s Waerenskjold all tried but got cancelled quickly. 2.5 km to go As Carlsberg’s Resell has a small gap together with Bystrom for Trans and top favourite Halvorsen for Red Bull!
It does come to a sprint between the favourites though, and Halvorsen is simply too strong for Tafjord’s Waersted and Gjensidige’s Enger!

Should be Haugard’s title to win.
The UBS rider leaves the others no chance. Silver for Foss and bronze for Laengen!
