Arctic Race of Norway 2025 (August 7-10)

[Barnacle Bill]

I thought I'd remembered Moscon having some sort of event in his home town where he served the salmon he won, but all I can find now is mention of him taking it to a Sky training camp

Team Sky is sure to have Norwegian seafood on the menu in the coming months. Earlier this year Gianni Moscon won the Arctic Race of Norway, and with his stage 3 victory in the race, Moscon could also cash in a prize of half a ton of Norwegian salmon. During a training camp in Mallorca this week, the prize was delivered and celebrated with a grand dinner service.

“I feel I have to share some of this with my teammates. There is more than enough salmon for me and my family” reassures Moscon, who had a first taste of the prize while enjoying with his team a four-course dinner served by seafood chef Adrian Løvold from Trondheim in Norway. Moscon was accompanied by 80 guests present during the hand-over of the prize. The menu consisted of grilled salmon, Norwegian Christmas herring and sashimi of scallops and fresh salmon.

Samuel Leroux just had the strangest crash ive seen in a long long time. On his own before master start, straight in the barrier after a c moment of bike handling.

BREAKING NEWS!
Storm Ingebrigtsen is not in the breakaway. Neither is Georg Rydingen Martinsen.

Ballerini riding around with Cees Bol‘s number as well for some reason.

Ballerini riding around with Cees Bol‘s number as well for some reason.

Pretty sure I saw PCS post a "correction" that Ballerini was actually Bol.
I'd hoped they would then have gone: "Correction of the correction; it is Ballerini", but they appear to to simply have removed the "correction".

Guys actually in the break, other than Ballerini:

Holter, Koerdt, Hellemose, Vercher, Geens, Uriate, and Tvedt.

Peloton at around 1:30.

Pidcock already working for Strong.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Strong marked Pidcock comfortably there it seems, got an extra second

edit: I was wrong, Pidcock was ahead somehow

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Some nice aggressive racing.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice move by Oldani and De La Calle. 20s.
20km to go.

 

[RedheadDane]

Vercher totally deciding that being in the early break is not enough attacking.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Another nice move, this time from Camprubi

 

[Potomac]

Vercher want his fair share.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Strong is having to close some of the stuff himself. Lets see how tired he is when Scaroni goes on the last climb.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Hairy scenes

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Scaroni goes..... nowhere.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Setting up a sprint for Pidcock, maybe they have to do the last part on a mountain bike.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

I thought someone would make an attack stick, but looks set for a bunch sprint after all

Dversnes wins ahead of Strong. (Who wins the GC)

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good racing today. Chapeau to the riders for giving it a go.

 

[KZD]

Didn't know Dversnes could sprint like this, good win.

Happy that Strong won GC, he climbed really well yesterday following Pidcock to the line.

Bit dumb by Jayco chasing at the end only for Engelhardt to do an Ethan Hayter impression and brake every time there was a rider close to him.

They were riding for hatherly.

Well, he sprinted backwards very fast and was never really in position before either.
