Soren Waerenskjold beats Tobias Foss by 1 second to win Norwegian time-trial national championships
CyclingThursday, 20 June 2024 at 11:31
The Norwegian time-trial championships have begun early this Thursday morning and have started off the national championships action for the day. It was another thrilling race with a margin of only 1 second defining the winner and this was Soren Waerenskjold of Uno-X Mobility.
The former under-23 World Champion in the discipline is on absolute flying form. Waerenskjold, 24 years of age, defended the title he obtained last year but only by 1 second over former Elite World Champion Tobias Foss. The INEOS Grenadiers rider put in a brutal effort but it was not enough to take the win.
After winning the time-trial and overall classification Waerenskjold brings in another quality victory for the team and is ready for the Tour de France. Third place was his teammate Andreas Leknessund, who was very disappointed to miss out on the selection to the Grand Boucle.

- Merckx has a crazy number of wins, but so many were meaningless crits. for quality wins, Tadej rivals or surpasses him at similar ages.mij30-05-2025

- I need rephrase myself. I mean the UAE team pulled Ayuso together with other GC contenders back to Del Toro who was further in front. Yes, I noticed Del Toro eased off just before the Red Bull bonus point, which I thought was very strange. It was as though he was acting as a domestique even though he was wearing pink. So, it's not UAE fault that Ayuso can't perform.
KerisVroom30-05-2025 - Agree MIJ: this version of Ayuso, a victim mistreated by his team because in the middle of the stage they didn't stop his job hugging him, kissing him, singing him a soothing lullaby can only be conceived by an excited fan (Mr Flecha).
maria2024202430-05-2025 - really? I watched a team that pulled del Toro back because wanted Ayuso captain (stage 11, del Toro could easily catch up Carapaz, but stayed back helping Ayuso, stage 13, Km Red Bull, del Toro stopped to allow Ayuso won seconds). This version of "Ayuso victim" make me laugh. He is arrogant, selfish, never pull for others, he thinks is Merckx... no, he is not. I hope this Giro helps him to mature and give him a dose of reality.maria2024202430-05-2025
- "Gemini" was unsure but "Siri" told me Carapaz. 😊
Senna196030-05-2025 - And maybe he struggles to maintain a competitive weight. In cycling it's a major disadvantage.maria2024202430-05-2025
- The way the team puts him in lots of races doesnt help eitherabstractengineer30-05-2025
- If he was so concerned, he should have patted Ayuso himself. UAE were busy with Del toro's leadabstractengineer30-05-2025
- If Pogi retires tomorrow he will already go down as “one of the greatest”. Another five years at his current level and we can likely call him greatest ever even though he won’t equal Merckx for sheer number of winsmobk30-05-2025
