Markus Hoelgaard, the last man to have won a stage at the Arctic Race of Norway before the outbreak, is also the first to do so as the race returned in the cycling news. The Norwegian from Uno-X counter-attacked the climbers at the very end to solo to victory in the streets of Tromsø while top sprinters Alexander Kristroff and Bryan Coquard rounded out the podium of stage 1.
Four riders in the lead

111 riders took the start of stage 1 in the 8th Arctic Race of Norway in Tromsø. Gleb Brussenskiy (Astana- Premier Tech), Alexis Gougeard (AG2R-Citroën) and Alex Colman (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise) were the first riders to make a move. As the peloton let them go, they enjoyed an advantage of 4’10’’ after 15km of racing. Tor Andre Aase Vabø (Team Coop) caught up them after a solo chase but the peloton led by B&B Hotels-KTM maintained the gap below two minutes at half way into the race. Brussenskiy went by himself to grab KOM points at Katfjordeidet summit with 52km to go while attacks started to take place at the head of the pack. 30km before the end, the bunch was just 1’ adrift.

Barguil and Eiking show their ambitions

Gougeard dropped his breakaway companions and forged on despite a strong chase and lots of offensives at the head of the peloton. Bora-Hansgrohe, Intermarché-Wanty Gobert and Astana were the most active teams. They put an end to Gougeard’s odyssey with 11.8km remaining. In the second of three passages atop Holtevegen summit, Warren Barguil (Arkea-Samsic) tested his legs, followed by Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) but it was Kristian Aasvold (Team Coop) who managed to go clear, firstly joined by Samuele Battistella (Astana) who’d still have some energy in the final sprint to become the best young rider. Barguil who said on the eve of the race that GC could be shaped on stage 1 went for it again in the last ascent to Holtevegen. Pre-race favourite Odd Christian Eiking (Intermarché-Wanty Gobert) reacted, so did Giro d’Italia stage winner Victor Lafay (Cofidis).

Hoelgaard like in 2019

Hoelgaard counter-attacked after the three climbers gave an indication on who to await on the queen stage to Målselv on Saturday. Homeboy Andreas Leknessund, racing for the Norwegian national team, was close to bridge the gap with 2km to go but the final rush of the Uno-X rider prevented anybody from catching up with him, the same way he rode to victory two years ago on the conclusive stage in Narvik. It was a 1-2 for Norwegians as Kristoff, also racing for the Norwegian national team on this occasion, crossed the line two seconds later, before B&B Hotels-KTM’s Coquard. After the great show of the opening stage, the Arctic Race of Norway will head to a foreign country for the first time ever as stage 2 will finish in Kilpisjärvi, Finland.

Pozzovivo takes 2nd on Burgos stage 3 – Aru also impresses as Italian duo climb up the GC

Romain Bardet (Team DSM) won stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos, crossing the line solo, with Domenico Pozzovivo (Team Qhubeka NextHash) leading the chase group home and taking 2nd, Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) was 3rd.

Stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos presented the first real test to the GC contenders as riders had to take on the well-known Picon Blanco climb. The complete stage covered 173km, with Picon Blanco peaking at just 18km to go, followed by a technical descent to the line.
An early break did go clear in the opening kilometers of the stage, but the peloton had no problem controlling the gap, ensuring the escapees would be caught on the climb.

Ineos-Grenadiers and EF-Education took up the pace setting on the lower slopes of the climb, but it was an acceleration from Fabio Aru that really put the pressure on, resulting in the main group thinning out. Giro d’Italia winner, Egan Bernal (Ineos-Grenadiers) then tried to control the pace for their protected rider, Pavel Sivakov, but new attacks soon followed.
Aru and Pozzovivo rode well in tandem, following the moves until just 11 riders remained in contention at 3km to go from the summit of the climb. It became quite tactical over the final uphill kilometers but it was Bardet who put in a telling attack just before the summit and got a 15″ gap.
Pozzovivo formed part of the first chase group with three other riders, Landa (Bahrain-Victorious), Nieve (Bike-Exchange) and Bouchard (AG2R Citroen), as the descent began. Aru followed a few seconds behind in the 2nd chase group.
Bardet went downhill like a rocket and extended his lead to 35″ over the Pozzovivo chase group. There was a big scare for Pozzovivo though as Bouchard crashed in front of him in one of the many corners, but our Italian managed to stay upright and resumed the chase.
Bardet also slid out right near the bottom of the descent but hardly lost any time with an impressive and rapid remount. The Frenchman held his gap to the line, taking a very good stage win. Pozzovivo led the now 3-rider chase group home, to take 2nd place on the stage.
Aru would finish in the next group of chasers, just 11″ behind the Pozzovivo group, and sprinted to 7th place on the stage. The strong rides from our Italian duo saw Pozzovivo climb to 3rd place on the overall GC with Aru moving up to 4th.

Domenico Pozzovivo
„Today was a stage that suited me better than the first two windy stages. On the last climb we did some great work, together with Fabio, it was just Bardet that got a jump on Landa and me at the top and we know that he is very strong on the downhill. I tried to avoid taking too many risks on the downhill. Me, Landa and Nieve tried to come back on Bardet but he was very strong, even on the flat sections. Finally, I was happy to come in 2nd with a good sprint because that is not my best skill. We look forward now with confidence in our shape for the final mountain stage and also to the Vuelta a Espana.“

Grünes Licht für die Jedermann Tour am 29. August in Nürnberg

DT_Logo

Grünes Licht für Hobbyradsportler*innen in Nürnberg. Das Gesundheitsamt der Frankenmetropole hat das Hygienekonzept der Jedermann Tour genehmigt. Für alle Teilnehmenden gilt am 29. August die 3G-Regel (geimpft, genesen, getestet). Auch wenn die aktuellen Anmeldezahlen die Erwartungen bereits übertreffen, sind noch Startplätze auf jedermann.deutschland-tour.com verfügbar. Ein Geschenk ist inklusive: alle Teilnehmenden erhalten ein kostenloses Santini-Trikot im „fränkischen Design“.

Bereits am Vortag der Jedermann Tour (Samstag, 28. August), ist im Startbereich auf dem Hauptmarkt die Startnummern-Ausgabe geöffnet. Zwischen 14:00 und 20:00 Uhr kann der Starterbeutel abgeholt und der 3G-Nachweis vorgezeigt werden.

Am Finaltag der Deutschland Tour (Sonntag, 29. August) starten auf dem Nürnberger Hauptmarkt um 09:30 Uhr Jedefrau und Jedermann, die sich für die kurze Strecke angemeldet haben. Die 55 Kilometer mit nicht allzu schwerem Profil bieten sich perfekt für Einsteiger an. Eine Stunde später, um 10:30 Uhr, gehen die ambitionierteren Radsportler*innen auf die lange Distanz. Mit 108 Kilometern und 1.750 Höhenmetern ist die Runde durch die Fränkische Schweiz anspruchsvoller. Zur Einstimmung auf die Jedermann Tour stehen Trainingspläne, Karten, Höhenprofile und sogar GPX-Dateien auf jedermann.deutschland-tour.com bereit.

Noch bis zum nächsten Sonntag gilt der „Sommerferien Spezial“-Tarif: bereits ab 90 Euro kann der Start bei der Jedermann Tour, inklusive dem kostenlosen Trikot, gebucht werden. Die Jedermann Tour ist als sorgenfreies Fahrrad-Fest hoch professionell organisiert: Die Strecken sind komplett für den Autoverkehr gesperrt, dazu gibt es Verpflegung und Materialservice im Rennen. Die Online-Anmeldung erfolgt unter jedermann.deutschland-tour.com.
Höhepunkt für alle Teilnehmer: bereits vor den Profis fahren Jedefrau und Jedermann durch das Ziel an der Nürnberger Oper. Nach den Hobbyfahrer*innen fährt die Radsport-Weltelite um den Gesamtsieg der Deutschland Tour 2021. Die Schlussetappe verläuft durch die Fränkische Schweiz und endet für die Top-Stars mit drei Zielrunden auf dem bekannten Nürnberger Altstadtkurs.

Aus Hygienegründen müssen die Teilnehmenden der Jedermann Tour in diesem Jahr leider auf einige Extra-Services verzichten. So kann die traditionelle Pasta-Party am Vorabend nicht stattfinden. Hierfür gebuchte Tickets werden über das Anmeldesystem unkompliziert zurückerstattet.
