Norsk triumf i Arctic Race-finalen: – Skjønte ingenting
Cedrik Bakke Christophersen (24) rykket ifra og syklet inn til seier på den fjerde og siste etappen av sykkelrittet Arctic Race søndag.
Seieren var hans første i proffsammenheng.
Christophersen var sterkest opp den bratte avslutningen til målstreken i Narvik. 190 kilometer før startet etappen på Sortland.
– Det er helt surrealistisk. Jeg trodde noen var foran meg da jeg kom i mål, så når de kom til meg og sa jeg hadde vunnet, så skjønte jeg ingenting, sa seierherren til TV 2.
Nådestøtet kom med 600 meter igjen. Da stakk han ifra resten og nektet å se seg tilbake.
– Han ser «supersharp» ut, sa TV 2-kommentator Christian Paasche.
Uno-X-rytterne Ådne Holter og Henrik Pedersen var to av tre ryttere som utgjorde et tremannsbrudd på etappen. Forspranget deres ble gradvis spist opp av hovedfeltet.
Erlend Blikra stakk av med seieren på rittets andre etappe.
Guillermo Thomas Silva fra Uruguay vant rittet sammenlagt. Christophersen ble beste norske på en åttendeplass.

Cyclists criticise ‘catastrophic’ safety measures after Finlay Tarling’s death
Rider’s union expresses fury about Volta a Portugal
Tarling died after collision with non-race vehicle
The professional cycling community has reacted with fury to the death of the teenage Welsh rider, Finlay Tarling, in the Volta a Portugal, with a leading former professional describing the race’s safety measures as “catastrophic”.
Tarling, the younger brother of the Netcompany Ineos professional Josh Tarling, was in collision with a non-race vehicle driving towards the peloton while he competed in the Portuguese race’s eighth stage. The 19-year-old’s death on Friday has led to a surge of anger, with the rider’s union, the Cyclistes Professionnels Associés (CPA), describing itself as “furious”.

After his team's preseason opener, Lions head coach Dan Campbell offered an interesting observation about something he didn't see.
Asked by a reporter after the game about a specific play when a player got injured, Campbell said he didn't see it because, unlike the reporters in the press box and the fans watching at home, Campbell is only seeing what happens on the field in front of him, not all the TV angles.
"You get a better view than I do," Campbell told the reporter. "I don't get to see all that stuff. I wish they'd just give us a monitor we can walk around with so we actually watch the game with you guys while we're watching that game because you can't see all the little things."
Before deciding whether to throw a challenge flag, coaches often watch replays on the stadium big screen or take the advice of a coach in the booth who can see the TV angles. But play in and play out, coaches aren't necessarily seeing everything the fans at home are seeing. The coaches have tablets on the sideline, but those aren't showing the TV feed. Maybe they should.
