01:00I'm under no illusion, it's going to be a really big challenge

01:02The Arctic Race of Norway

01:06Started with just a six second margin

01:08In the general classification

01:09As we headed for what felt like a criterium day

01:12Around Tromsø

01:13135.3 kilometres

01:16But significantly

01:17With three bonus sprints along the way

01:19And eight KOM points

01:21Which really would enthrall

01:23The drama of course was there for all to see

01:25Nerves I guess you might say

01:27And a breakaway with those hoping

01:30To get something out of this race

01:32Who were not any longer battling for GC

01:34And a stern breakaway

01:36It was, a lot of teams with something

01:38To fight for

01:39Implanting riders up the road

01:41UNO-X were there

01:43Jayco likewise

01:44Astana were involved

01:46Likewise Team Energies

01:48Flanders-Bell was also

01:49And they were pushing on

01:51Would they make the steal?

01:53Well the gap never allowed really

01:54To go much beyond 90 seconds

01:56The rain came down

01:57But it did not hamper

01:59Anybody's ambitions

02:00It was a strong breakaway

02:02With the likes of Gjelmoorz

02:03With Holter also up there

02:05Ballerini himself

02:07Although misnumbered

02:08And they were folding over

02:09In terms of attacks

02:10To give the day a go

02:12Gjelmoorz was later to be joined

02:14By Dunbar

02:15But this was Andreas Leknesen

02:18Wanting to come and join the fun

02:19Had a quiet race so far

02:21The Norwegian champion

02:22But he was determined

02:23To make something of a statement

02:25At least on the final day

02:26Of this 12th edition of the race

02:28As for Alexander Kristoff

02:30Things weren't going all his way

02:32As far as the GC was concerned

02:34There were bonus seconds

02:35Up for grabs

02:36At the intermediate sprints

02:38And so it was

02:39That we had the spectacle

02:40Of a breakaway up the road

02:42But also

02:43Tom Pidcock

02:44Trying to wind it in

02:45Get those three coveted

02:47Very special points

02:49For himself

02:50He had to go long

02:51And indeed

02:52Was almost three laps out

02:54When he decided to impose himself

02:55Corbin Strong though

02:56Matched him

02:57Pace by pace

02:59And in fact

02:59He came down

03:00To one of the intermediate sprints

03:02Where the two of them

03:02Were going for two and one

03:03Bonus seconds

03:04Possibly three

03:05If they could possibly

03:06Dridge over here

03:07They almost got there

03:09At the line

03:10It appeared that

03:11Corbin Strong

03:12Had beaten Pidcock

03:12Pidcock was given the nod

03:14Two seconds going his way

03:16So the margin cut down

03:17For him overall

03:18Then of course

03:20It was down to the last few laps

03:22And it looked like

03:23The GC battle

03:24May well be set in stone

03:26Because Strong

03:27Was exactly that

03:28Extraordinarily strong

03:30And powerful

03:30Matching Pidcock

03:32Constantly

03:33And the final intermediate sprint

03:35Came to naught

03:36So it was all down

03:37To the run for the line

03:38With Corbin Strong

03:40Hoping to get

03:40Yet another stage win

03:42In this amazing race

03:43Over the top they come

03:45No bonus seconds for them

03:47How would it end?

03:49Dramatically of course

03:50Bellarini wants to make it

03:57Wants to make it home

03:58He's wearing the wrong number

03:59We'll remind you today

04:00And so it is

04:02The Pidcock comes up

04:03Onto the shoulder now

04:04Almost onto the back wheel

04:07But Mark is there

04:08Charging into this one

04:09Goes Holter

04:10Holter's going to try

04:11And lead in

04:12And it will be for Lowland

04:13Lowland is there

04:15Number five

04:16As you can see

04:17Strong has a check

04:18Over his shoulders

04:18Other wants to get into

04:20Into the business

04:21And have a flyer here

04:22Versher hasn't finished his duties

04:23And the pick up goes right now

04:25And it's Kurt that goes

04:27But he's got Strong

04:27On his case

04:28Treble one is Rick Plumas

04:30Plumas almost

04:32Shoulders into the side

04:34Here of Corbin Strong

04:35Who's staying with it

04:36He's got new lead out man

04:37He's going to have to do it

04:38On his own

04:38Strong picks it up right now

04:40Follows in onto the back wheel

04:41Can he possibly get there?

04:43Also here is Fett

04:44The young Fett

04:45Is coming through

04:45Is he going to get fed

04:47And watered at the end of today?

04:48Corbin Strong

04:49He's still staying with it

04:50Can't quite get there

04:51Just for the time being

04:52Strong's going to finish

04:53In second play

04:54Super win for Bern

04:55Oh that was brilliant

04:57I thought I could do

05:04Maybe a top five

05:05Maybe a podium

05:06If

05:06On GC

05:07If I had a really good ride

05:10But I think yesterday

05:11I exceeded my expectations

05:12Yeah

05:14Just to ride my bike here

05:15Was an incredible

05:17Experience

05:17But to win is another label

05:19And so after

05:20Going off like a rocket ship

05:22Frilly de Verne

05:23Doing the job for

05:24Una X Mobility

05:25Getting the congratulations

05:26From everybody

05:27And we heaped them on

05:28Corbin Strong of course

05:29Our champion

05:30What an amazing day

05:32De Verne taking

05:33The day ahead of

05:34Corbin Strong

05:35Valerini was up there

05:36After spending much of the day

05:37In the breakaway

05:38But what a GC battle

05:40We had as well

05:42It still raged on

05:43Strong got so close

05:45To adding to his tally

05:46Overall

05:46Didn't quite work out for him

05:48De Verne

05:49Secure

05:50In that position

05:52So a super way

05:53To end the day

05:54But what a great champion

05:56We have as well

05:57In Corbin Strong

05:58Beating

05:59Tom Pidcock

06:00By an increased margin

06:02Of 11 seconds

06:03Overall

06:04Scaroni

06:05In third place

06:06Rounding out the podium

06:07For Astana

06:09But yes

06:10This race will be remembered

06:11Not only for the drama

06:12Of the scenery

06:13But for the racing itself

06:15Experience on the Arctic race

06:20Of Norway

06:20But how important is it

06:22To win

06:23To win a stage

06:24On this race

06:24It's fantastic

06:26Winner

06:28Winner race

06:28Here in Norway

06:29Incredible

06:30And also

06:31A super tough

06:32Tough day

06:33I can't believe it

06:36To be honest

06:36Because yeah

06:37You struggle

06:38We saw you dropped

06:39Not once

06:40But twice

06:41And you battled it

06:42Through to make it

06:43To the line

06:43Take us through the stage

06:44I was dropped

06:45Several times

06:46And like the first lap

06:48We wanted to get a guy

06:50In a break

06:50And we got Odna

06:51And for me

06:53It was pretty brutal

06:54With those steep hills

06:55And was kind of

06:57Going for a helper role

06:59To help

07:00Help us in the

07:01In the bunch

07:03And to get us

07:04Good positioned

07:04Into the hills

07:07But

07:07Yeah

07:09We came back

07:10Over and over again

07:12And super good help

07:13From Odna

07:14When I got dropped

07:16We helped each other

07:16To get back

07:17And

07:17And I just found

07:19I found an opening

07:20And lost

07:20And started early

07:23And took it

07:25Almost the perfect week

07:27For the team

07:28For UNOX Mobility

07:29With two victories

07:31That's also very important

07:32But yeah

07:32We came here

07:33With a hope

07:34For a better

07:34GC

07:35But

07:36It was a little bit

07:39Too hard

07:40Yesterday

07:40So to get a stage

07:42Today

07:43Instead

07:43Worth it

07:45Thank you very much

07:46Enjoy the podium

07:47Thanks

07:48Situations

07:49You have just won

07:50The arctic race

07:51Of Norway

07:52But how stressful

07:53Was today

07:53Oh it was an incredibly

07:55Stressful day

07:56Actually

07:56I knew we were going

07:58To be under attack

07:58From kilometre zero

07:59But it exceeded

08:00My expectations

08:01Especially

08:02The first few laps

08:03In the rain

08:04I was

08:04Really not confident

08:07In being able

08:09To control

08:10Today

08:10Actually

08:10It was really stressful

08:12And then

08:12The wet descents

08:13As well

08:13I know this is

08:14A strength

08:15Of Pidcock

08:15So

08:16Yeah

08:17I

08:19Yeah

08:19I was really

08:20Nervous for today

08:20And then

08:21The first few laps

08:21Were even more

08:23Out of control

08:23And harder

08:24Than I expected

08:24But my team

08:25Was just

08:26Incredible today

08:27We were

08:29Fourth

08:29First

08:30Fourth

08:30Ninth

08:31And fifteenth

08:32From GC

08:32Coming into today

08:33So

08:33We have an incredibly

08:35Strong team here

08:36And those boys

08:37Just put it all

08:37On the line

08:38For me today

08:38And yeah

08:40I owe this

08:40Win to them

08:41Because they were

08:42Incredible

08:42And I couldn't have

08:43Done it without them

08:43To do today

08:43And you

08:44Were extremely strong

08:46All along

08:47The week

08:47Basically

08:48Yeah

08:49I knew

08:50In Maloney

08:50I felt really good

08:51Really strong

08:52On the climbs

08:53But yeah

08:54I was quietly

08:55Confident

08:55I could do

08:56An okay

08:57GC here

08:58I knew

08:58The 4k

08:59At 8%

09:00Was going to be

09:00Really difficult

09:01Against guys

09:02Like Scroni

09:02And Pidcock

09:03But yeah

09:05I thought

09:05I could do

09:06Maybe a top

09:07Five

09:07Maybe a podium

09:08On GC

09:10If I had

09:11A really good ride

09:12But I think

09:12Yesterday

09:13Exceeded my

09:14Expectations

09:14And yeah

09:16To take the GC

09:17Here

09:17I'm really proud

09:18Of myself

09:19Really

09:21Yeah

09:22I didn't expect

09:24To win the GC

09:24Here

09:24So to be in the yellow

09:26And finish it off

09:27With my teammates

09:27Today

09:28Is a really nice feeling

09:29It's not just amazing

09:31Landscapes of Norway

09:32There's also
