Edvald Boasson-Hagen clinches second Tour of Norway title

Victory for Alexander Kristoff in the final stage of the Tour of Norway could not prevent Edvald Boasson-Hagen from claiming the yellow jersey for the second year running.

The Norwegian came third behind Team Plussbank's Sondre Holst Enger, helped by a final-kilometre surge by Team Sky teammate Joshua Edmondson.

"It's really nice to take the win," Sky Sports News quotes the 26-year-old as saying.

"The team did an amazing job to control things the whole day and keep everything under control.

"It's really nice to have such a strong team and to finish off in the yellow jersey was the goal."

Team Sky finished second behind Blanco Pro Cycling Team in the team rankings.
