Ethan Hayter sealed the first stage race victory of his young career as he led from start to finish at the 2021 Tour of Norway, while his housemate Matt Walls won the final stage four to take his first-ever professional win on the road.

Hayter won the first two stages, giving him a 15-second lead in the overall classification, before Mads Pedersen interrupted the British dominance, taking the stage three win ahead of Alexander Kristoff, before settling for second himself on the last day of racing behind Walls.

Jonny Long

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.

I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.

Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).

I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
