BikeExchange-Jayco’s Dylan Groenewegen was the first to cross the finish line on Stage 2 of the Arctic Race of Norway.

Dylan Groenewegen wins Stage 2 of Arctic Race of N
It was a close bunch sprint to the end in soggy conditions - the Dutch rider hit out early with a powerful sprint and successfully held off Amaury Capiot (Arkéa Samsic) and Edvald Boasson Hagen (TotalEnergies).

The win is Groenewegen’s seventh victory since joining BikeExchange-Jayco, after the Australian team put the 29-year-old in prime position to take the stage in Brønnøysund.
"It's not the normal lead-out train, we are also with general classification riders but they did an amazing job," Groenewegen said.

"It looked like a real lead-out train with Schultzy on the end to bring me in position.

"I started my sprint really early but I think it was enough. It's a nice win for me and for the team. Yesterday was a hard day. We're also good in the classification and now we have a stage win."
Stage 1 winner Axel Zingle (Cofidis) finished in the bunch, holding onto his yellow jersey while Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) and Capiot occupy second and third in the general standings respectively.
