Young British star Matthew Brennan has continued his relentless run of non-stop success in 2025 with the final stage and overall victory in the Tour of Norway.
Brennan clinched the last day's victory, an undulating 130 kilometre stage starting and finishing in Stavanger, in a sprint ahead of veteran local star Alexandr Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility) - still searching for an elusive 100th career win before he ends his career this winter - and Picnic-PostNL's Tobias Lund Andresen.
In the tightly fought GC battle, meanwhile overall Brennan finished 28 seconds ahead of Victor Langelotto (Ineos Grenadiers) and 39 seconds up on Jan Christen (UAE Team Emirates-XRG). He also picked up the points and, of course, the best young rider classifications.
