Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) claimed the first stage race victory of his professional career taking home the overall title in the Tour of Norway after winning the first two stages.
The British rider topped Ide Schelling (Bora-Hansgrohe) by 15 seconds with Mike Teunissen (Jumbo-Visma) in third at 25 seconds.
“This is my first GC win and it definitely wasn’t an easy one,” Hayter said after successfully defending his lead for three stages.
"The first two days I got an advantage and then defending it on stage 3 was the hardest day of all of them. It’s not been an easy race. I really enjoyed this race. The weather has been amazing, the views have been amazing and the race has been great."
Bora-Hansgrohe's Matthew Walls took the first victory of his professional career in the final sprint stage to Stavanger, beating former world champion Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) and Daniel Hoelgaard (Uno-X).
"I am super happy with my first pro victory today," Walls said. "Big thanks to the whole team and especially Nils for the perfect leadout over the last couple of kilometers. I was not quite sure how my shape is going to be after the Olympics and I did not expect anything here but I am more than happy that it worked out and I could finish it off!"
