Sergey Chernetskiy (Katusha) was well-protected by his teammates all day and crossed the line safely to seal his overall win in the inaugural edition of the Tour des Fjords race.
“Today I'm really happy for this victory; this is my first season as a pro, so it's absolutely fantastic to get such a win,” said Chernetski. “I want to thank all the team, all my teammates for the huge work they did every day here in Norway: their help was crucial for this success. Today we had another hard stage with a lot of attacks from our rivals: but the team once again was perfect, keeping almost everything under control. We went very close to another stage victory with Alexander Kristoff, but it was an incredible weekend anyways. Now I'm going to take part in Coppa Agostoni, Coppa Bernocchi and Tre Valli, the so-called 'Trittico Lombardo', where I hope to take advantage of my shape and take another good result.”
Besides, Sergey Chernetskiy took the white jersey of the best young rider, while Alexander Kristoff won the green jersey of the best sprinter.
Katusha Team won the overall teams’ classification.
