Victor Vercouille (Flanders-Baloise), Ludvik Holstad (Team Ringerike), Joseba Lopez (Caja Rural), Simen Evertsen-Hegreberg (Lucky Sport Cycling Team) and Herman Emil Eriksen (Lillehammer CK) are the names of the attackers who animated the day's breakaway during the 2nd stage of the Arctic Race of Norway, a stage that saw Tuttobici follow closely the exploits of the breakaway riders from a very interesting and privileged perspective.

For almost the entire 180 kilometers of the Bø i Vesterålen-Andenes stage, we followed the race from the car behind the breakaway riders guided by former pro Lars Michaelsen (many will remember him in Française des Jeux and CSC jerseys in the early 2000s), who, just a few hundred meters from the attempt that characterized much of the stage, allowed us to notice details and particulars that are often not captured on television or dwelled upon at length.

From the indications of the camera motorcycle, to the glances and words exchanged between the men at the front, from the interventions of the neutral support vehicle to the passage through the feed zones, following the athletes the race appeared in a much more intriguing and evocative light that ended up making the entire experience much more enriching and stimulating than it perhaps was on television.
