DRAMMEN: Some 120 riders and 21 teams started 13.35 in the five-day Tour of Norway. And Edvald Boasson Hagen, who bikes for Team Dimension Data, is considered by many as one of the biggest favorites to win the race, but also several of the stages.
– It may be that I am among the favorites, but it’s never easy to win a bike race – no matter what the starting field it is. One should not take anything upfront. I’ll certainly not easy on it, although not starting field is as strong as last year, said Boasson Hagen to TV2 16th.
Most Norwegian riders, except Alexander Kristoff was at the starting line. The race ends in Sarpsborg Sunday afternoon.

Also Thor Hushovd was in place at Bragernes square. However, he was not wearing bike pants and bike shirt, but jeans and t-shirt for the occasion. Several noticed the former cycling pro from Grimstad and would immortalize their meetings with cycling hero.
among other Sondre and Vegard Foss Knutsen, who had become father to town to watch the ride – before he left to the dentist.
– it is very imposing it here, daddy says Knutsen while shooting sons along with Hushovd.
