Sunday, May 24: 5th and Final Stage, Fla - Eggemoen, 174 km

Andreas Vangstad rides to the finish for a briliant solo win.

The Race: Early in the stage, eight riders escaped. They never built a large lead, but with 15 kilometers remaining, they were still off the front. Seeing an opportunity, young Andreas Vangstad bolted the field and bridged up to the break.

With just a couple of kilometers left to race he took off again to solo in to the finish to win the stage. He former breakaway companions were swallowed up by the pack. This was Vangstad's first international stage race win. I'm sure we'll see more from this strong, savvy rider.

GC leader Jesper Hansen finished 16th, fourteen seconds after Vangstad had crossed the line, good enough to make him the 2015 Tour of Norway winner.

Saturday, May 23: Stage 4, Rjukan - Gailo, 168.3 km

Amets Txurruka wins Tour of Norway stage 4.

The Race: The day's hilly stage saw more than a few attempts to go clear, particularly starting with Pim Ligthart and Bob Jungels breaking away early in the stage.

Others tried, but when it came to the final uphill to the finish, the mountain goats took over. Sky rider David Lopez took off with Amets Txurruka on his wheel. Txurruka went by to get a clean stage win.

GC leader Jesper Hansen was able to finish fourth to retain his overall number one position.

Friday, May 22: Stage 3, Skien - Rjukan, 181.3 km

Jesper Hansen wins the Tour of Norway's third stage.

The Race: Jesper Hansen (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Sky rider David Lopez escaped 23 kilometers from the finish.

Hansen left Lopez on a late climb and then raced the remaining downhill kilometers to win the stage.

Thursday, May 21: Stage 2, Drammen - Langesund, 193 km

Alexander Kristoff has won both 2015 Tour of Norway stages.

The Race: Alexander Kristoff is certainly having a good Tour of Norway. He has won both stages run so far.

It took about thirty kilometers for a break to get established. Once off the front, the five fugitives stayed away until the closing few kilometers. With less than ten kilometers remaining, the break now caught, the 100-man pack was set up for a big sprint.

Katusha did a perfect job of setting up big Alex Kristoff for the rush to the line, which he did not waste.

Kristoff leads Orica-GreenEdge rider Caleb Ewen in the GC by eight seconds.

Wednesday, May 20: Stage 1, Arnes - Sarpsborg, 182 km

Alexander Kristoff wins Tour of Norway stage 1. Photo GI/Bryn Lennon

The Race: A break of five riders escaped early in the stage, and it almost succeeded. One rider in the fugitive group, Vegard Laengen, wasn't caught until the final kilometer.

But with everyone rounded up it was time for a sprint and Katusha rider Alexander Kristoff was the fastest of the bunch. Kristoff had been enjoying a bit of a layoff from racing and this was his first competition since Paris-Roubaix in April.

Complete Results:

182 km raced at an average speed of 38.84 km/hr
