The Norwegian saved his legs in the back of the peloton during the stage in and around Svolvaer before unleashing everything he had in the closing stages to claim the victory.

"Perfect!" was Hushovd's succint reaction as he crossed the line.

Tom Van Asbroeck came second and Marco Haller third, while stage one winner Kenny van Hummel finished fourth.
