Magnus Cort (Uno-X Mobility): “It turned out perfectly”

As we were coming close to the finish, I was getting a bit nervous. The front six were very strong and the twenty-five guys pulling behind couldn’t manage to bring them back. I was confident I was going to be able to go for the overall victory, but I was unsure about the stage win. In the end, it turned out perfectly. I must say that my team did an amazing job again today....

Jonas Gregaard Wilsly (Lotto-dstny): “With luck on my side I could have won today”

I feel a little bit disappointed. I will be thinking for a long time on how long a few hundred meters can be. I fell so agonizly short of pulling it off. I came close after a great effort all day long along with my teammate Logan Currie. It’s a bit sad and strange feeling, because with luck on my side I could have won today. I have been in the breakaway on many big races,...

Andreas Leknessund (Uno-X Mobility): “As a Northern Norwegian guy, I feel very proud”

It has been a super special week. It has been really cool for the team, with many good results crowned with Magnus’ overall win. But, even without the results, it would have been a great week because of the weather, the spectators and the route, which has been really nice. As a Northern Norwegian guy, I feel very proud of everything - the team, the race, the results. I...

Jelle Johannink (TDT-Unibet): “My legs were burning after three straight days in the breakaway”

I wanted to be present in today’s final, but I could only do one pull to put my GC leader on a good position with 10 kilometers to go. My legs were burning after three straight days in the breakaway and I had to give up before the uphill finish. This performance in the Arctic Race of Norway has been really nice for my career. I like active racing, and all year long...

Kevin Vermaerke (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL): “It’s a bittersweet result”

It’s a bittersweet result. I was 3rd overall, like last year, and I was hoping for more. The team did a really good job and, given the competition and how the stages played out, I can be satisfied with being third and best young rider. Had the climbs been longer, the race would have suited me better. Uno-X did a great race. All the teams here enjoyed racing here and tried...

Clément Champoussin (Arkéa-B&B Hotels): “A great result for my team”

I’m very happy, as I have put a way better performance this week than last year’s. My final sprint was very good, considering my position with 500 meters to go. 2nd overall is a great result for my team. Uno-X has been excellent. They are a great team and I’m not surprised they have been so strong all week long.
