The opening day of Hammer Stavanger proved to be just as hard and exciting as expected as the teams went all-out in their fight for points on the steep slopes of the final climb. After a grueling uphill sprint on the very last lap, Team Jumbo-Visma sealed the Hammer Climb victory in front of Lotto Soudal and BORA-hansgrohe.
