The Arctic Race of Norway has one of the most useful prizes in history: the most combative rider on each stage wins 500kg of smoked salmon.
Norwegian Marius Hafsas won it on stage one but on stage two, it was Bretagne Seche’s Jean-Marc Bideau who took the award and will have his prize shipped to France for free by the organisers.
"I felt strong today but I couldn’t win the race," Bideau said. "With the fish I’ll give it to my family, my teammates and a lot of people will be happy with that. Salmon is my favourite fish."
