The peloton heads south to Flekkefjord before turning north again via Tonstad and Sirdalen, where sprint points and bonus seconds will be awarded, most likely to a breakaway.<\/p>\n<p>Before reaching this point, the riders will tackle Rundtj\u00f8rn after 36 kilometers \u2013\u00a0a 4.4 km climb with an average gradient of 7.5%. The only\u00a0<strong>Category 1<\/strong>\u00a0climb of the race appears after 156 kilometers:\u00a0<strong>Sirdalstoppen<\/strong>, which will be decisive in the battle for the KOM jersey.<\/p>\n<p>From there, the peloton moves westward past Tj\u00f8rhom, descending Hunnedalen to Byrkjedal, where positioning will be crucial ahead of the uphill finish in Oltedal. Within the final 10 kilometers,\u00a0<strong>Dirdalsbakken<\/strong>\u00a0(1.6 km at 8%) offers a chance to apply extra pressure. Just five kilometers later, the finish climb to Oltedal awaits. 2,3\u00a0km at 5%,\u00a0an ideal opportunity for puncheurs to make their mark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download GPX file\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/collections\/2918514?privacy_code=pYxrJkBK0ZbyVsXJsZQ9K8Pa7RlVPHCD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><embed src=\"https:\/\/bikemaster.no\/emb_kart_v10.asp?rid=984&amp;qk=EqUZNu9cQ2uAUZ7R22cLr5Gzx1b9FDlAbo6yCImUREEgCXJtlq&amp;mt=bmw&amp;c=&amp;cs=\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/embed><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      \n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1016,"template":"","class":[13],"year-tax":[34],"class_list":["post-1584","stages","type-stages","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","class-men-elite","year-tax-34"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourofnorway.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stages\/1584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourofnorway.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourofnorway.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/stages"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourofnorway.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourofnorway.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"class","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourofnorway.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/class?post=1584"},{"taxonomy":"year-tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourofnorway.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/year-tax?post=1584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
