Andreas Leknessund has won the fourth and final stage of the Arctic Race of Norway. He maintained his lead till the finish line to secure the gold.
There was no breakaway at the start of the race. The peloton rode together for the next 20 kilometers before the race was temporarily neutralized due to a protest on the road. The race was resumed after removing the protesters.
After 60 kilometers of racing, we saw the first breakaway group, which included Amund Grøndahl Jansen, Andreas Leknessund, Dmitriy Gruzdev, Louis Barré, Florian Dauphin, Sam Bennett, Ángel Fuentes, and Jens Reynders. However, the group could not hold the lead for much longer.
Andreas Leknessund, Alessandro Verre and Fabien Grellier then took a lead of 1 minute and 25 seconds. Andreas was the only one who kept the lead till the finish and won the stage. Nicola Conci finished in second place. Axel Zingle took the bronze. Leknessund is also the overall winner of the tour.

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
