Van Gils is back! He takes the winning move in the third stage of the Norway Tour, the 141-kilometer Jorpeland-Heja route. The Belgian from Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe tastes success again after three and a half months since his triumph in Andalucia, and in the final sprint he overcomes Matthew Brennan (Visma Lease a Bike) who maintains the overall lead, and Monaco's Victor Langellotti from Ineos. Fourth is the young Christen from UAE Team Emirates XRG.
