Let's just say we are excited to get started! Are you?😍 #ToN24 #repsolnorge
The Tour of Norway is scheduled from the 23rd to the 26th of May, overlapping with the Giro d'Italia. Despite attracting a secondary field of riders, it promises thrilling racing across its four days. Let's explore its profiles.
Stage 1: Voss - Voss Resort, 141 kilometers
The race starts off with a hilly day that can be important for the overall classification. Almost completely flat in it's first half, but the second includes three ascents before the final one to Voss Resort.
This final ascent is 3.9 kilometers at 5.8%, although it includes tougher gradients and will provide a launchpad for important differences for the overall classification.

Stage 2: Odda - Gullingen, 203 kilometers
The queen stage? I would certainly call it. The longest and hardest day of the whole week, the riders start off in Odda and face a climb right in the first minutes of the race where a strong breakaway can go up the road.
The day lacks big climbs until it's finale but small hilltops will be ridden through the entire day. A lot of fatigue will build up throughout several hours of racing... And lastly, the final climb to Gullingen is 5.5 kilometers long at 8.8% and is a true challenge even for the strongest of climbers.
Stage 3: Sola - Egersund, 178 kilometers
The third day of racing is that best suited to the sprinters. It's not completely flat but it's not far off. From Sola to Egersund the riders go through 178 kilometers and should have a regular bunch sprint - perhaps the only one of the race.
Stage 4: Stavanger - Stavanger, 124 kilometers
The final day of racing starts and finishes in the familiar city of Stavanger. Every year in Norway we have this city hosting a hilly stage on a circuit... This year it is not too difficult, the sprinters are still likely to fight for the win, but they will have to go through an explosive climb that summits 7 kilometers away from the finish quite a few times.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
