Preview stage 2. Throughout the 17th to the 20th of August, at the peak of summer, the snow defrosts in the Arctic circle and the peloton travels to northern Norway to race the Arctic Race of Norway. It is a four-day stage-race that should feature good racing despite the crowded calendar position.
Stage two into Hammerfest includes more climbing early on, but will not see a circuit towards the finish. It is another mixed day where many riders can be in contention however, the fight for the victory should come down to the finall hilltop, where there are 900 meters at 6%, ending right inside the final kilometer.
Stage 2: Alta - Hammerfest, 153.4 kilometers
