Tom Pidcock (Q36.5) won the 3rd stage of the 2025 Arctic Race of Norway.

“I’m happy, even if we also intended to take the leader’s jersey and Corbin Strong put in an excellent climb for a sprinter and managed to keep it. There is still a tricky stage left, though. It’s going to be a big race and Corbin has a very strong team to make things difficult for us, but we’ll see how much we can do.”

“My teammates did a great job today - especially Frederik [Frison], who pulled for the best part of the stage as nobody wanted to cooperate.”

“It’s been a long training block and a long time since I last raced on the road, but I’m definitely feeling I’m back in good shape after an intense first half of the season.”
