Jordi Meeus had to wait until
Tour of Norway to open his winning account with a
stage victory in the sprint of Saturday's stage 3 with finish in Egersund, where he proved to be faster than Pavel Bittner, Alexander Kristoff and
Wout Van Aert.
"Winning is always nice. It was a pretty hectic finale – not just in the peloton, but also due to strong crosswinds from the right. Despite the many position battles, I stayed calm and concentrated. The timing for the sprint was perfect. I’m very happy to celebrate my first victory of the season," Meeus said in a
press release.
