Soren Waerenskjold beats Tobias Foss by 1 second to win Norwegian time-trial national championships
Cycling
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.

- It must be nice to be able to win a race in dominating fashion like that, then imply that you still couldn't go flat out because of a recent injury.
santiagobenites26-01-2025 - That was my first thought. I hope I'm wrong. It would be sad if a great champion behaves like a sore loser. In 2023, after his incredible tt, I never heard Tadej raise suspicions against him (the internet was full of accusations). Remember that in a few months, Jonas, from being very bad in TT (his results were around 100) became a super phenomenon, giving 3 minutes to Wout and 2 minutes to Tadej.
maria2024202426-01-2025 - So far in my life I've broken my left arm, my right arm, my left wrist, my left leg, three collar bones, broken my neck, broken my back, crushed my pelvis, lost a rib, hurt my left kidney and now I broken the same foot twice.

- No matter how amazing MVDP’s ride, no need to use disrespectful titles towards other riders, especially someone like WVA who still rode admirably considering his preparation, his falls snd the fact he still beat all the other riders.Mistermaumau25-01-2025

- I don’t think you’ll find ANY ageing cycling enthusiast who hasn’t gone through this kind of “torture” at least once. As long as it’s not permanent you get over it. Get better safely, I may miss this season but am pretty happy my torn meniscus has healed itself (not a given closing in on 60) well enough to contemplate more racing next year. 2025 will be about recovery and testing but with a new child and heavy renovations I’m looking at it as the luck hidden in bad luck :-)Mistermaumau25-01-2025

- Jonas (probably instructed by Visma) low-key seeding a media cycle about UAE’s carbon monoxide abuse because he knows he’s not at Tadej’s level anymore.mdemartino25-01-2025
- I thought Visma was still using this technique but were about to stop using it soon. Anyway, it will probably be banned soon enough.awp25-01-2025
