Several breakaways animated stage 3 of the Tour of Scandinavia. The last one came from Carina Schrempf (Fenix-Deceuninck), who attacked 28.5km from the finish line in Larvik and stayed ahead of the peloton until being reeled in at the two-kilometre mark. It was a learning experience for the Austrian champion, who is in her first full season as a pro, and one without regrets.
Schrempf was caught just in time for the uphill sprint that saw Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx) win the stage. She had tried an attack on a similar uphill finish on stage 8 of the Giro d’Italia Donne but was more than happy with her earlier move on the Norwegian roads.
