Tour de Fjords 2016 – Stage 1– Os – Bryggen – 146,9 km
Tour des Fjords (earlier known as Rogaland Grand Prix until 2012) is a road bicycle race held annually between Stavanger and Bergen, in the region of western Norway, Norway.
Leigh Howard (IAM Cycling) scored his second win of the 2016 season, taking out the rainy opening stage of Tour des Fjords in Bergen after the majority of the peloton was led off-course on the approach to the finish, leaving just three riders out front to contest the stage win.
Howard topped Jesper Asselman (Roompot) and August Jensen (Team Coop-Øster Hus) to take the race lead.
“I’m really not sure what to say about today, very happy to win the stage but disappointed it was under these circumstances,” Howard said.
The stage was a preview of sorts for next year’s UCI Road World Championships, and riders tackled 20km of the route. But rather than make a turn to stay on course, the peloton was led straight.
“There was a lot of confusion and some riders from the back of the bunch attacked,” fourth-placed Damiano Caruso (BMC) said. “By the time we had an overview of the situation, it was too late to catch them. In the end, I did a good sprint and was able to get fourth place.”
