Timo Roosen sprinted to second place in the final stage of the Tour des Fjords to place third overall in Stavanger. Edvald Boasson Hagen won the stage and overall classification.

"We had a plan in advance to force echelons today,” Sports Director Sports Director Merijn Zeeman said. “The first time Joker Icopal just started a bit early, when Lars Boom was just behind in the cars and so he missed an important group. At 70 kilometres to go, we forced the group in echelons one more time, leaving 25 riders.''

Prior to the stage, Roosen was 24 seconds behind leader Dries van Gestel and LottoNL-Jumbo's men still wanted to fight for the final victory. "Boasson Hagen and van Gestel were always aware at the front. Roosen went with the first riders over the last climb and in the last kilometres, we decided to ride for his sprint. A second place is therefore a very nice result.”

The Tour of Fjords proved successful for team LottoNL-Jumbo. Roosen won the second stage and the team scored several podiums. “All together we can be very happy with the performance of our men.”
