The race: Here's the race organizer's stage four summary.

Team DSM’s Andreas Leknessund pulled off a masterpiece he will never forget to win the final stage and the GC of the 2022 Arctic Race of Norway. The Norwegian rider went clear from the peloton with a hundred kilometres to go and proved to be the strongest in the final circuit of Trondheim, holding off all the attempts to bring him back and landing a solo victory that subsequently awarded him the overall win ahead of Hugo Houle (Israel-PremierTech) and Nicola Conci (Alpecin-Deceuninck). It’s the first time a Norwegian rider triumphs in this event since the victory of Thor Hushovd on its first edition, back in 2013.

108 riders took the start on the 4th stage of the 2022 Arctic Race of Norway, which began and finished in Trondheim after covering 159,1 kilometres, at 14:20. One DNS: Intermarché-Wanty Gobert’s Sven Eryk Bystrøm, who fell ill overnight and sat out of the race giving up his hard-earned 4th position on the GC.

t was a hectic start, with many moves as all of the event’s prizes and honors were undecided or straight away up for grabs, as the 400 liters of Mack Brewery products awarded to the winner of the first intermediate sprint in Spongdal (IS, km 26). Israel-Premier Tech led out, yet former GC leader Axel Zingle (Cofidis) proved the fastest of the contenders and took three important bonus seconds ahead of Quinten Hermans (Intermarché-Wanty Gobert) and Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-Samsic), who closed in to Midnight Sun jersey wearer Victor Lafay (Cofidis) by two and one seconds respectively.

Three-man breakaway up the road
Virtually every rider from every team wanted to break away, and that made for a thrilling first hour of racing until Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM), Fabian Greiller (TotalEnergies) and Alessandro Verre (Arkéa-Samsic) managed to jump clear 65 kilometres into the stage. The trio build a buffer that reached 2’15” atop Løvset (Cat 2, km 78,7), first crowned by Greiller. Cofidis drove the bunch to keep the gap steady as Leknessund led the way through Ståggån (Cat 2, km 101,9).

Leknessund takes off
It was with 37 kilometres to go that the riders entered the final circuit in Trondheim: a 8,1-kilometre loop with a steep climb to Tylhot Tower (1,4 km at 7,7%) to be crested 5,8 kilometres from the finish line. As soon as the road pitched upwards, Leknessund took off from his companions to reach the summit of Tylhot Tower (Cat 2, km 128,9) solo, holding a 1’10” gap on a bunch where attacks began to take place. A three-man group with Martin Urianstad (Uno-X), Embret Svestad-Bardseng (Team Coop) and Thomas Gloag (Trinity Racing) went clear atop the climb and caught up with Verre and Greiller after the second crossing of the finish line with 24 kilometres to go. They were quickly swept up by the pack when the race finally took shape.

Alpecin-Deceuninck comes close as Cofidis loses its lead
Nicola Conci (Alpecin-Deceuninck) unfurled a ferocious acceleration to pass the summit of the second climb to Tylhot Tower (Cat 2, km 137) second to Leknessund, who was still leading the race with a 45-second buffer. The Italian rider was joined from behind by teammates Jason Osborne and Kristian Sbaragli, as well as by Hugo Houle (Israel-Premier Tech), Dries de Potter (Intermarché-Wanty Gobert), Axel Zingle (Cofidis) and Max Poole (Team DSM). The Alpecin-Deceuninck squad kept a fast tempo as Leknessund collected KOM points in Tylhot Tower (Cat 2, km 145,2) and bonus seconds on the third and fourth crossing of the finish line.

Conci took off again up the final climb to Tylhot Tower (Cat 2, km 137) in a furious pursuit of Leknessund, who managed to keep him at bay. Behind, Lafay, Vauquelin and Hermans took on a late chase with the Midnight Sun jersey in mind that turned out unfruitful as all of them finished off the podium for the benefit of Conci, Houle… and the outstanding overall winner Leknessund.

The race: Here's the organizer's stage 3 summary:

Victor Lafay had come to the Arctic Race of Norway with some unfinished business from last year, when he was third on the queen stage and the final GC of the Northernmost road cycling event. On this 2022 edition, though, the French rider has managed to triumph atop Skallstuggu to claim his second victory as a professional rider and the Midnight Sun jersey off the shoulders of his Cofidis teammate Axel Zingle. A group of eight riders led by Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-Samsic) and Hugo Houle (Israel-PremierTech) finished just 3” behind Lafay and will be his main challengers for the overall win tomorrow in Trondheim.

109 riders took the start on the 3rd stage of the 2022 Arctic Race of Norway, which covered 177,7 kilometres between Namsos and Skallstuggu, at 13:35. It was a fast start under a bright sky, and it took 11 kilometres for Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarché-Wanty Gobert), Maurice Ballerstedt (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Tom Wirtgen (Bingoal-Pauwels Sauces-WB) and Håkon Aalrust (Team Coop) to go clear as the two main contenders for the Peacock jersey, wearer Stephen Bassett (Human Powered Health) and runner-up Aaron Van Poucke (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), neutralized each other’s attacks to finally stay in the bunch. By the intermediate sprint in Namdalseid (IS, km 33,1), won by Ballerstedt, the breakaway had a 4’00” gap on the peloton driven by Midnight Sun jersey Axel Zingle’s Cofidis teammates.

Cofidis and TotalEnergies controlled the race
The race situation remained stable for most of the stage. Aalrust led the break through the Strugstad summit (Cat 2, km 85,8), where the advantage of the front group had increased up to 5’00”. TotalEnergies began contributing to the chase for the benefit of Mathieu Burgaudeau, who sat on second position of the GC behind Zingle. As the terrain got more demanding, the pace stepped up and, as a result, some riders began to dangle off the back of the bunch and the gaps narrowed down. Wirtgen was the first across the summit of Stene (Cat 2, km 126,4) and Aalrust led through Reinslia (Cat 2, km 139,5), where the break clocked a lead of just above three minutes.

Van der Hoorn and Ballerstedt, last men standing
The run-in to the final climb of Skallstuggu (Cat 1) was lumpy and featured two intermediate sprints on Levanger (IS, km 156,8) and Hojem (IS, km 163,9) won by Ballerstedt and Van der Hoorn respectively as the breakaway riders capitalized all bonus seconds at stake. Intermarché’s Dutch rider attacked with 15 kilometres to go and his acceleration was only matched by Alpecin-Deceuninck’s promising German rouleur, as Wirtgen and Aalrust were dropped back to a bunch where BikeExchange-Jayco had taken the reins. The front duo was reeled in by the pack just as the final 3,8-kilometre climb started. When the road began to pitch upwards, Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM) hit the afterburners to open a series of violent attacks from different riders. With 2,3 kilometres to go, Victor Lafay (Cofidis) put some daylight between himself and the rest of the bunch, that had split in a gazillion groups. No solid chase attempt was established behind Lafay, yet the French rider triumphed with just a few seconds to spare.
