Israel - Premier Tech has taken the victory on the day at the Arctic Race of Norway, Stephen Williams has taken the win on stage 3 in a difficult summit finish.
The breakaway of the day features Paul Double, Michel Ries, Vincent van Hemelen, Anton Stensby, Karsten Larsen Feldmann and Ulrik Tvedt. Overall a modest group but one that gave the peloton a headache.
Van Hemelen made a move with 13 kilometers to go and with his aerodynamical stance powered through all the way into the final climb. He looked strong however he had an almost compact peloton chasing behind, and eventually was reeled in at the base of the ascent.
Israel - Premier Tech then moved to the front with Dylan Teuns pushing the pace. Uno-X also took up the front but no-one made a true attack as riders looked to save their legs for the final meters.
It was a sprint to decide the day. A gruelling one on tough gradients, and one where Israel's Stephen Williams was the strongest, taking a strong win. He beat Clément Champoussin and Christian Scaroni to take the victory on the day.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
