Van Dijk wins Tour of Norway prologue
Vos nudged to second, Garfoot in third
European time trial champion Ellen van Dijk (Sunweb) debuted her new jersey atop the podium in the opening prologue of the Tour of Norway, winning the 3km test in Halden by fractions of a second over Marianne Vos (WM3).Australian champion Katrin Garfoot (Orica-Scott) was one full second behind Van Dijk in third.
"This is a really nice win to take and I will for sure take some time to enjoy this moment," Van Dijk said. The Dutchwoman was in the first wave of riders, starting 25 minutes after Vos, who set the fastest early time.
Having topped Vos by 0.64 seconds, Van Dijk then faced a wait of more than two hours to find out if she had won, with Garfoot, who started fourth to last, the rider to come closest in the second half of the start sheet.
"It was a really exciting finish with lots of fast specialists finishing in the last block of riders, so I really wasn't sure what the end result would be until the last rider came across the line. I feel like the legs are good and I'm looking forward to seeing how things go for the rest of the week with the team," Van Dijk said.
