Ben Tulett secures overall victory at the Tour of Norway as Alexander Kristoff takes sprint win on final stage of the race

Alexander Kristoff has taken a stage win on the final day of racing at the Tour of Norway as Ben Tulett secures the overall race victory.

The final day of the race is an explosive one, difficult to control. The riders start and finish in Stavanger, the riders finish off with a three-lap circuit which includes two small climbs - 600 meters at 7.5% and 700 meters at 6.1%. It's a day that could end in a small group sprint, solo attack towards the end but could also see the GC fight erupt.

Getting themselves into the breakaway was a group of nine riders including Dries de Bondt and Chad Haga.

With 24km to go they were swallowed up by the peloton and despite numerous riders attempting to attack and ride clear solo, the peloton reached the final climb all together.

In the finale, Jasper Stuyven made one last attack off the front but when that didn't work out, the sprinters launched.

Alexander Kristoff was the winner in an incredibly tight three-way photo finish at the line.
