Fjords 5

Wie wint de slotettappe? Kan Dries van Gestel stand houden of weet Boasson Hagen hem nog te verdringen? Er moet in Stavanger 3x een lokaal circuit met een muurtje (200 m á 17%) gereden worden.


  

Stage 5: Hinna Park - Stavanger (163 km)


The grand finale in 2017 features the same proven course as in the two years before. The stage again leads through the beautiful landscapes of the Stavanger area and Jæren. The start takes place at Hinna Park, an industrial and commercial center right outside Stavanger. Tour de Fjords then leads South through Sandnes, Klepp, Bryne, Undheim and to the hills of Høg-Jæren with its wind mills. On the way back up North, the peloton passes through the sprint at Sola and to Ullandhaug hill and the infamous Sørmarksbakken. This classic climb is just two hundred meters long, but has a maximum grade of about 20%, averaging 17%. The riders have to tackle this climb three times on the local circuit through Stavanger, and like in the last years, the entire race could be decided on this final climb. Last year, about 2.500 spectators were cheering for the riders in Sørmarksbakkenalone, creating a unique atmosphere. Finally, after 163 kilometers, the overall winner of Tour des Fjords 2017 will be crowned in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the finish line in the city center of Stavanger.

Categorized climbs: Åslandsbakken (Cat. 3), Sørmarksbakken (Cat. 2)

Expert's view

Alexander Kristoff from Stavanger, pro cyclist at Team Katusha and two times winner of Tour des Fjords: 
"Like stage 4, also this stage has a very, very tough finish on the local circuit in Stavanger. Traditionally, a bigger group than the day before in Sandnes reaches the finish together. If you risk a late attack on the climb and have a good day, you can make it all the way to the finish. Tour des Fjords for sure is not decided before this final stage."

Hoe heeft Lars dat nu weer voor mekaar gekregen, Lodjan ?

Hij was net bij de ploegleidersauto toen de Jokerploeg (echt waar) het de eerste keer in waaiers trok. Hiermee waren ze Jumbo net voor, ze hadden namelijk de zelfde plannen. De rest van de ploeg was wel mee.

Zucht.........
