Despite missing out on victory in Harstad, Niki Terpstra said that he was happy to be in the mix in the final of a race again.

The 37-year-old's last victory came at the Tour of Flanders back in 2018 and he was metres away from taking a 23rd career victory on the final stage of the Arctic Race of Norway on Sunday afternoon.
