The next climb to Kalhovd over the Hardangervidda suited me better and was followed by a great descend back to Rjuka. My first time in Norway and winning here is really a great feeling.\u2019, stated Brouwer.

When I attacked at the second climb no one followed me so I decided to continue solo. Eikeland was to strong and I was not able to catch up with him.\u2019, stated Mos.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a new course record Karen Brouwer rode to victory in Norwegian town Rjukan today.
