00:00I show today I have still good legs so I'm very happy to to win in my final
00:16race in Norway and I'm proud also. Alexander Kristoff is gonna scream this
00:21one up his last race in Norway oh he's done it I've done it brilliantly takes the day
00:28well Corbyn Strong would it be his last day in the Midnight Sun jersey sharing that lead on the
00:39same time with Alexander Kristoff had two stage winners though with a big task today as everyone
00:44did in fact straight out of the back door the third stage destination at Malzell was an absolute
00:50nightmare designed of course by our co-sponsors RB Carlson to be a place where a hundred kilos
00:57of salmon were up for grabs on the first climb of the day and it was feistily fought for salmon his
01:03way and a reignition of his battle for the king of the mountains jersey as well
01:06disappear from you
01:09and forget about me
01:12so give me something new
01:15give me what I need
01:18so give me something new
01:21give me something new
01:24give me something new
01:28give me what I need
01:31the landscape absolutely sensational and so was the action amongst the breakaway
01:56Basas was in hungry mood and in fact threw the bike at the line to deny Storm Ingebrigtsen
02:03maximum points on that climb
02:05well that's the way it was going there was four categorized climbs on the day the big one of
02:11course was at the very end and everyone just giving themselves a stretch and thinking how on earth it was going to be run
02:18some very very strong riders here
02:22if the day had been about the breakaway then we were mustering ourselves for the ultimate test by the day's end
02:29a huge spike only 3.7 kilometers in distance but the ramps were absolutely punishing
02:37could the fast men survive what about the classics men who would come to the fore at the right time
02:43well the rain came down as well but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm and everyone was mustered for a big grandstand finale
02:50last man standing was Veselum from the break who could indeed get something more out of the day
02:56it was now decision time for those who would try to push on for the line
03:01everyone absorbed all back together but it wasn't going to stay like that because the gradients were so punishing
03:08that this almost classic style finale needed everybody's hands on the pumps in order to get this battle going
03:15and it duly raged and satisfied magnificently on the entry everyone was battling for position
03:22it was now you had to get that call to arms and make sure that you had what was required at the end of the day
03:30pitcock up towards the front could he live up to the billing
03:36this is fantastic and here goes pitcock can anyone go with him and strong's gone with him that's amazing
03:42staying with the with the game as well super work by vermont bjorn no kurt the american vermont wants to be
03:49part of proceedings will he be and it's felix engelhardt who wants to stay with the game as well
03:54this is amazing this is where it starts to thin down the greats come through and engelhardt rounds through
03:59pitcock picks it up 250 minutes ago strong not tempted just yet but he may well try and come round
04:08let's see twists and turns still to be had here the last one just about to unwind it's a right-hander
04:14and corbin strong is going to come up and over the top here and tom pitcock i think may well get beaten by
04:19corbin strong here the power of the jersey is on display corbin strong what a performance this is
04:25absolutely remarkable pitcock coming back at him it's going to be on the front of the line oh who's
04:29going to get there oh pitcock takes it ahead of the majestic corbin strong
04:34it's been a long training block a long time since i've raced on the road so i definitely feeling
04:41uh yeah some freshness coming back after the long first part of the year so that's uh also a nice
04:47feeling gonna be uh a tough race tomorrow like i said corbin's got a strong team he's obviously going
04:55very well so it's gonna be difficult but yeah well let's see what we can do what an amazing performance
05:02by corbin strong absolutely outstanding for him a fast man to get up this climb was beguiling to say
05:10the least the power of the jersey on display same time as pitcock obviously of course bonuses were
05:16factored in once that was taken care of pitcock trailing by six seconds going into the final day at
05:22tromso what a race we have on our hands a great stage winner and an absolutely spectacular leader overall
