Edvlad Boasson Hagen

Edvald Boasson Hagen wins the final stage

Cycling's World Championships

The race: Here's the report from final overall winner Edvald Boasson Hagen's Dimension Data team.

Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka had an amazing end to Tour of Norway. Edvald Boasson Hagen sprinted to victory on the final day and thereby also took the overall win in his home race.

The team started out Sunday’s last stage knowing that if Boasson Hagen could make podium in the final sprint, and race leader Pieter Weening (Roompot) didn’t, he would win the race overall. Extremely motivated and determined, our African Team controlled the stage perfectly, always keeping the breakaway within reach.

As the riders took on the final circuit in Oslo, a strong headwind made it even more difficult for the break to stay away. On a hilly circuit, Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka did a great job setting up Boasson Hagen for the sprint. However, it turned out to be much more stressful than expected as first Mekseb Debesay and then Boasson Hagen crashed on the circuit and had to change bikes.

Ultimately, it all worked out perfectly as both riders made it back to the pack and Boasson Hagen outsprinted Simon Gerrans (Orica-Scott) to win the stage and take 10 bonus seconds, which handed him the overall win as well. With two stage wins and two additional podium places, Boasson Hagen also topped the points classification.

Alex Sans Vega – sports director: “The team has been incredible all week and again today. Every rider gave his all for our common goal. With a strong headwind at the end, it was difficult for anybody to attack. We went 100 % for the sprint with Edvald [Boasson Hagen] and he proved to be the fastest. It’s really amazing to win Tour of Norway with our local hero here in his hometown”.

Saturday, May 20: Stage 4, Lillestrøm – Sarpsborg, 194 km

Dylan Groenewegen

Dylan Groenewegen was the fastest man of the day

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Dylan Groenewegen's LottoNL-Jumbo team.

Bicycle History

Team LottoNL-Jumbo sprinter Dylan Groenewegen sprinted uphill to win the Tour of Norway’s fourth stage today in Sarpsborg. Groenewegen, after 192 kilometres, topped Edvald Boasson Hagen and August Jensen and took his second victory of the race.

Previously, he had won the second stage. Pieter Weening maintained his overall leader’s jersey. "It was a difficult arrival that went uphill in the last kilometre," Groenewegen said. "Boom had ridden hard for almost the whole day to catch the breakaway.

“The sprint train positioned me well. It was not ideal, but I ended up in Simon Gerrans's wheel and saw that Edvald Boasson Hagen went for it. Then, I also start sprinting and I beat him fairly easily."

The stage unfolded with an early breakaway of five cyclists. Lars Boom with the help of Team Joker went full-throttle in the chase later and brought then under control. With the escape caught deep in the final, the sprinters hit high gear heading to Sarpsborg.

Team LottoNL-Jumbo had two goals in the Tour of Norway, and with Groenewegen’s stage victories they have achieved those. Sports Director Nico Verhoeven kept his team calm yesterday to stay focused on today with Groenewegen in which the 24-year-old dominated.

"When the breakaway went away, nobody wanted to take any responsibility," explained Verhoeven. "Boom rode 65 kilometres hard with the Joker riders to catch them. When they were caught with five kilometres remaining, the sprint train took over and dropped Dylan off for the win.

“It was not that easy to win against Boasson Hagen and Gerrans because those men are specialists on these kinds of arrivals. It was a real good achievement and Dylan showed has class. Like the whole team. We dominated both stage we won, so I am pleased."

The victory today marked Groenewegen’s third of the season. The last stage tomorrow runs 153 kilometres to Moss.

Pieter Weening wins stage 3

The race: Here's the report from Team Orica-Scott.

Tour of Flanders, the Inside Story

Former Australian national champion Simon Gerrans sprinted to third place on an attacked filled stage three at the Tour of Norway today, following the late moves and maintaining his positive position on the general classification.

Attacks by young Australians Jack Haig and Rob Power animated the finale for ORICA-SCOTT as the Australian outfit really tried to take the race by the scruff of the neck and shift the momentum in their favour.

Haig bridged across to the leaders with 30kilometres remaining before being followed by Gerrans, Power and former race leader Edvald Boassen-Hagen (Diension-Data).

The closing finishing circuit lit up with attacks and chases galore, it was Pieter Weening (Rompoot-Nederlandse-Loterij) who stole the victory with a late solo attack and moved into the overall race lead with Gerrans holding on for third on the day and third overall.

“We marked this stage as a good one for us to go on the attack,” explained sport director Matt Wilson. “And the guys certainly did that, it was unfortunate that when Jack bridged across to the original leaders with about 40kilometres to go, no one went with him and then the break just sat up and Jack got caught at the base of the final climb.”

“From then on it was about Rob and Simon, Rob showed strength and had a go further up the climb and Simon, as planned was marking Boassen-Hagen. We were looking strong going into the final and I thought that with two guys up there we had a good chance.

“In the end Boassen-Hagen couldn’t bridge to Weening when he attacked so Simon had to go alone and settle for third. Nevertheless we are in a really good position with two days to go, lots of points still on offer and plenty of hard racing to come.

“The top ten on general classification is pretty tight and for sure we will be looking to race aggressively like today and try our best to move up the standings.”

How it happened:

Slightly better weather welcomed the riders to the start of the Queen stage and with plenty of climbing to come over the course of 192kilometres the breakaway took a little longer to form.

After 55kilometres had been covered a group of six riders managed to go clear, eventually gaining around five minutes on the bunch by the halfway point.

Three challenging finishing circuits around the well known ski resort of Lillehammer comprised the last 72kilometres and the six leaders still held five minutes over the peloton as they entered the first circuit.

Dimension-Data controlled proceedings at the front of the peloton for race leader Boasssen-Hagen with the gap to the six leaders closing with every kilometre and standing at less than one minute with one lap to go.

Haig attacked out of the peloton as splits began to form on the penultimate climb, gaining an advantage of a few seconds the young Australian began to chase down the leaders.

Catching the group with 30kilometres to go Haig pushed on, splitting the lead group as Gerrans followed the acceleration of Dimension-Data and Boassen-Hagen some 20seconds behind.

As Haig dropped off it was Power who was the next to have a dig for ORICA-SCOTT with Boassen-Hagen chasing close behind followed by Gerrans. These three made up half of a group of six that led the race into the final ten kilometres.

A very late attack from the front group by Weening sealed the solo win with Gerrans sprinting hard to hold onto third place.

Dylan Groenewegen wins stage two

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Dylan Gorenewegen's LottoNL-Jumbo team.

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

Dylan Groenewegen sprinted to victory today in the Tour of Norway’s stage in Brumunddal. The Dutchman of team LottoNL-Jumbo beat the U23 world champion Kristoffer Halvorsen and Norwegian Champion Edvald Boasson Hagen. It was the third win this season for Groenewegen and the eighth for the team.

"This is a team victory," said Groenewegen. "Yesterday it was too difficult and we knew that. Today, we had to go and it worked out. It was a perfect sprint. I was perfectly put in the right spot and did not see anyone anymore when I sprinted."

The race went like a typical sprint stage. A small group gained a big gap and the leader's team controlled the race. With another 50 kilometres remaining, Team LottoNL-Jumbo’s Lars Boom went to the front. The rain made the job harder.

"It gives me confidence when the team is riding like that. It's great to finish it in this way," said Dutch Champion Groenewegen. "Fortunately, it was dry at the start, but the rest of the day it rained. That made it difficult. If you ride uphill, you were too hot while you really cooled down on the descent."

Sports Director Nico Verhoeven helped Groenewegen orchestrate the win perfectly.

"We came here to ride such a lead-out,” Verhoeven said. “Lars Boom controlled the race and in the final, the other men did so. Timo Roosen and Amund Grondahl Jansen dropped off Dylan in the front, while Tom Leezer and Robert Wagner were the perfect lead-out.”

Wednesday, May 17: Stage 1, Hønefoss – Asker, 169 km

Edvald Boasson Hagen wins the first stage

The race: Here's the story from winner Edvald Boasson Hagen's Dimension Data team.

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

The Tour of Norway could not have got off to a better start for Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka and Edvald Boasson Hagen, as our Norwegian Champion won the opening stage on his birthday. Boasson Hagen beat Tosh van der Sande (Lotto-Soudal) and Simon Gerrans (Orica-Scott) in the sprint for the line.

The opening stage of the Tour of Norway took riders on a 170km trip from Honefoss to Asker. There were numerous undulations throughout the stage with a final drag all the way to the line finish as well. The stage suited our Norwegian Champion to a tee and most of the rival teams were looking to our African Team to make the decisive moves.

With only three riders going up the road, it made things slightly easier to control for our African Team and we worked together with a few other World Tour teams to ensure the leaders were brought back before reaching the finishing circuit in Asker. The attacks came thick and fast over the final 25km and we kept it together as best we could before young Ben O’Connor had a go in the final 10km.

With O’Connor up the road Boasson Hagen could sit back and let the other teams chase, which they did do. O’Connor’s move was brought back just before the line and then our Norwegian Champion did the rest by sprinting to a special win. With the stage victory, Boasson Hagen also pulled on the overall race leaders jersey as well. The victory was made ever sweeter by the fact that Omar Fraile had also just won stage 11 of the Giro d’Italia minutes earlier.

Alex Sans Vega – Sport Director: “Wow, what a great day it is for the team. Here in Norway we had a special final, we knew it would be a sprint but it was all uphill. Teams like Orica had good options for today so we didn’t want to take responsibility too early. We let the break go and when they got to 8-minutes, Cannondale, Orica and our guys all started working to reduce the gap. Ben was in a tricky move in the final and he was only caught with 2km to go. This was good for us though because guys like Mekseb Debesay … could prepare Edvald for the sprint.”
