The first stage of the Arctic Race of Norway concluded with Axel Zingle’s victory. Gleb Syritsa finished second.
"First of all, I want to thank my team for the good support during this stage,” said Syritsa. He countries, “I was able to save some energy and stay fresh in the last 20 kilometers. The weather conditions were pretty tough, but to be honest, I like the rain. So I felt really good today."
Initially, He was best positioned for the sprint, but Zingle was too fast in the end. "The last kilometer was tough, but I could position myself well for the sprint and finished second. On short climbs like this I can compete for a good result, but at the same time, I feel I can still improve a lot," concluded Syritsa. Since it was the first stage, he holds the second position in GC, 4 seconds behind Axel Zingle.
