Best norwegian rider right now (or closest to winning a big classic)?

Ever since it was no longer World Tour, the competition has been rather weak. (Primary the last two editions)

that's not true, those two races after the recent route-change were the best in ages

at least zam knows....................why have such a poll?

surely competition is greater for the norwegian rider that has let their fans
down the most in recent times?

That's why I voted other, other is my best choice of them.

I have faith in EBH- he might not win soon, but he has the most pedigree out of them. The other two are also feasible, but need the right circumstances.

yes, I know, but especially in 2011 there were still guys like Gilbert and plenty of first class sprinters, it just turned out to be a different race with the new parcours

I think that's only due to weight loss, he was 77 kg with Colombia and is 73 kg's now.

A proriders weight varies a lot through the season and although EBH has lost some weight 73kg is most likely a bit off his current weight, however at the start of the Tour he's more likely to be close to 73kg.

Kristoff gets my vote. Really impressed me this spring and sooner or later one of these sprints is going to be for the win.
