The fourth and final day of Tour des Fjords was again marked by attacks from the men in green. On behalf of the Belkin Pro Cycling Team, Tom Leezer and Sep Vanmarcke shot free but their efforts were not enough to stick. The best Team Belkin rider was Vanmarcke, who placed tenth.
"We knew it was going to be difficult," said Sports Director Jan Boven. "This morning it was raining very hard and the organization decided to annul a steep cobbled climb of 500 metres from the parcours. That did not make it any easier for us. Katusha was therefore able to control the race, which they did."
Boven accepted Nordhaug’s second place in stride. "The team showed a lot of commitment this week and all of the boys fought hard. Winning is the most important, and we went for it, but second place was the best we could manage in this race."
