PREVIEW | Tour of Norway 2023 stage 2

Preview stage 2. From the 26th to the 29th of May the peloton travels to Norway for what is one of the most scenic races of the year. The Tour of Norway usually sees big figures and this year is no exception.

Stage 2 has a very difficult start with a 3.4-kilometer ascent at 9% at the bottom of a long ascent, and then the day features a few hilltops but is expected to see a more controlled finale. It will be an uphill one however, in Stavanger the gradients will rise almost to 10% towards the line, the final kilometer averages 5%.
