John Degenkolb

John Degenkolb wins the final stage of the Arctic Race of Norway

The Race: Here's the stage story from stage winner John Degenkolb's Giant-Alpecin team.

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

The 193km stage started in Rana Kommune, heading north over undulating and beautifully scenic roads to the coastal town of Bodo, where four laps of a finishing circuit were completed. It was another hard fight in the peloton to form the breakaway, and when it eventually broke clear it was never allowed much time with both GC and sprinter’s teams riding hard behind. Four members of the breakaway made a threatening attempt at staying away as the race neared its closing stages, but they were absorbed back into the bunch with 2.5km to go.

Giant-Alpecin hit the front with just over 2km to go, keeping Degenkolb where he needed to be for the run-in. Keeping out of the wind on the barriers, Degenkolb waited for his competitors to jump first, before latching onto their wheels and coming around in the closing metres to take the win.

After the stage, John Degenkolb said, "It's a great relief to get the victory, and it took a lot of energy, almost as much as winning a Monument. I'm super happy to not be alone here as the team did an awesome job, incredibly good. They timed the lead-out perfectly and I was able to finish it off with good legs in the end. I was really close to the win twice already this week but it didn't work out, and then today it went fine and we did a great job."

Coach Dirk Reuling:  "It's his first win of the season and after his comeback so it's a special win - he really deserved it. There was a really hard fight in the beginning, before the first climb, then on the climb it was more controlled but BMC made it really hard and the peloton split. John was in the second split and so we had to race hard for a long time to bring it back. The team worked really well there and everything came back together.

"When the six riders were away, we put Max Kanter in the chase [at head of peloton] – we saw he was really strong earlier in the week, and gave him the roll of helping bring the gap down, which worked out. Then at the end the guys did a great lead-out and John finished it off."

Saturday, August 13: Stage 3, Nesna - Korgfjellet, 160 km

Gianni Moscon

Gianni Moscon wins Arctic Race of Norway stage 3

The Race: Stage winner Gianni Moscon's Team Sky gave this explanation of the day's racing.

Bicycle History

The Italian Gianni Moscon hit the gas with a kilometre to go on the tough Korgfjellet climb and powered to an 11-second win, moving into the race lead by 15 seconds with just one day to go in Norway.

Sebastian Henao had covered what looked to be the decisive move on the final climb and Moscon was able to bridge across from what was left of the peloton before flying clear to take a memorable solo win.

Henao also hung on to finish seventh and move up to sixth overall, 36 seconds back on his team-mate, with Ben Swift and Lars Petter Nordhaug coming home 15th and 20th respectively after strong rides on a fantastic day for the team.

Nordhaug had been on the attack himself midway up the Korgfjellet, a 9km climb that maxed out at 7%, but he couldn't escape on home turf, while Moscon saved himself for one late decisive effort.

Danny van Poppel relinquished the race lead after slipping back from the bunch at the foot of the last climb, but he remains at the top of the points classification, and Team Sky remain at the top of the team classification.

Matt Brammeier (Dimension Data), Daniel Oss (BMC), Steele Von Hoff (One Pro Cycling) and Leigh Howard (IAM) had eventually escaped after 30km to form the day's break but the peloton, led by Katusha and Team Sky, with Andy Fenn particularly prominent, never let their lead extend above three minutes.

Indeed it was Fenn who did the vast majority of the work as the gap to the break fell hard inside the final 20km, ahead of the final climb, and then the Scotsman pulled over to let his team-mates do battle.

Nobody else was as well represented in the final reckoning and that allowed Moscon to pick his moment perfectly and escape to a fine win.

Friday, August 12: Stage 2, Mo I Rana - Sandnessjøen, 198.5 km

Danny van Poppel

Danny van Poppel wins stage 2

The Race: Here's the stage story from the race organizer.

On July 4, 1994, Danny van Poppel was eleven months old when his father Jean-Paul threw his bike on the finishing line of stage 2 at the Tour de France in Boulogne-sur-Mer to outsprint a German superstar from Gera who was on his right hand side: Olaf Ludwig. In an absolute replica, the rider from Team Sky timed his final rush at perfection, also in the centre of the road in Sandnessjøen, to beat another German superstar from Gera who was on his right hand side: John Degenkolb. The winner of Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix in 2015 missed out on his first victory of the year while Van Poppel capitalized on his confidence, having already bagged stage 2 of the Tour de Yorkshire in April, stage 1 and stage 3 of the Tour of Burgos last week. The 23 year old Dutchman leads the Arctic Race of Norway at half way.

TDF volume 1

129 riders started stage 2 at Mo i Rana, the industrial capital of northern Norway. Adrian Aas Stien (Joker-Byggtorget) initiated the long breakaway of the day right after flag off. It became a 6-man group with the addition of Jay Thomson (Dimension Data), Kevin Van Melsen (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Alex Kirsch (Stölting), Carl Fredrik Hagen (Sparebanken Sør) and Audun Brekke Fløtten (Ringeriks-Kraft). After the reached a maximum advantage of 5.28 at the bottom of the main climb, Belgium's Van Melsen crested the first category climb of Korgfjellet (km 44.5) in first position ahead of Thomson and Kirsch. Sven Erik Bystrøm and Viatcheslav Kuznetsov brought the gap down for Katusha before FDJ and Giant-Alpecin came in help. With 80km to go, the front group was reduced to five riders as Kirsch was reeled in by the peloton.

Stien won the intermediate sprints at Mosjøen (km 96), Leland (km 148) and on the first crossing of the finishing line in Sandnessjøen (km 170.5). Van Melsen continued his quest for the King of the Mountains competition to take the salmon jersey over from his compatriot Tom van Asbroeck and therefore win the special price of the day: an Adventure holiday trip in Helgeland, the most southerly district of Northern Norway – given by Nova Sea.

At bell lap, the five-man breakaway group was about to get caught. It happened with 12km to go. Vicente Reynes (IAM Cycling) sprinted to the Kleivskaret summit 10.5km before the end and stayed ahead of the chasing peloton for six kilometers. Björn Thurau (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) and Loïc Vliegen (BMC) tried their luck but Trek-Segafredo was very active in setting up a bunch sprint finish for Italian champion Giacomo Nizzolo. Race leader Alexander Kristoff remained boxed in while runner up John Degenkolb seemed to have it until Van Poppel passed him at the very end.

Thursday, August 11: Stage 1, Fauske - Rognan, 180.5 km

Alexander Kristoff

Alexander Kristoff wins stage one. Note the carnage behind him

The Race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

One year after he claimed his first ever stage victory at the Arctic Race of Norway in Harstad, Alexander Kristoff took his ninth win of the 2016 season to make it up for the narrow misses in the last week of the Tour de France (2nd in stages 14 and 16, 3rd on the Champs-Elysées). Without a train, he managed to outsprint John Degenkolb and the rest of the survivors of the first category climb located with 18.5km to go. The Norwegian from Katusha will start stage 2 with the blue and orange jersey like in 2015, with an advantage of three seconds ahead of Gregory Rast who collected time bonus throughout the long breakaway of the day.

Paris–Roubaix: The Inside Story

130 riders started stage 1 of the fourth Arctic Race of Norway after Italy's Matteo Pelucchi (IAM Cycling) went home due to sickness. Krister Hagen (Coop-Østerhus), Maxime Cam (Fortuneo-Vital Concept), Tom Van Asbroeck (LottoNL-Jumbo), Gregory Rast (Trek-Segafredo), Andreas Schillinger (Bora-Argon 18), Kenny de Ketele (Topsport Vlaanderen) and Max Emil Kørner (Team Ringeriks Kraft) rode away from the gun. After 50km of racing, their advantage was 6.25 over the peloton mostly led by Katusha with the help of one FDJ rider. Rast won the first intermediate sprint in Bodø ahead of Hagen and Cam.

Rast also won the second intermediate sprint with 44km to go while the time difference was reduced by the peloton to 4.15. It went down to 2.10 with 25km to go when the rain became a decisive factor and Rast and Schillinger dropped their breakaway companions in the first category climb of Ljøsenhammeren. Alone at the top, Schillinger won one year's worth of salmon products (smoked salmon, pepper-salmon) – given by Flakstadvåg Laks. BMC was very active in bringing the peloton across before Trek-Segafredo took over with Italian champion Giacomo Nizzolo putting himself at the service of Niccolo Bonfazio.

Among the top sprinters who survived the climb, Arnaud Démare was the one who suffered the difficult racing condition. The Frenchman was caught in a split 7km before the finish while Kristoff was deprived of a few of his team-mates. Attacker Amund Groendahl Jansen of Joker-Byggtorget was first to rejoin Schillinger with 4.5km to go but only a few seconds before the bunch was packed again. Giant-Alpecin set up the sprint for Degenkolb but Kristoff passed him at the very end despite being isolated. Degenkolb's high cadence in the last 100 metres evidenced a mechanical problem. Danny van Poppel of Team Sky took third place in Rognan. All defeated sprinters hope for a revenge in the flatter stage 2 from Mo i Rana to Sandnessjøen.
