Brennan never finishes outside top two on his way to Tour of Norway title
Revelation of the season, Matthew Brennan, took his second stage win of the four-day Tour of Norway on Sunday to seal the overall victory.
Still a teenager for another two months, Brennan never finished lower than second all race, winning the sprint behind lone survivor Storm Ingebrigtsen (Coop-Repsol) on stage 1, then taking the lead with victory the following day. Maxim van Gils then got the better of him on stage 3, but Brennan was back on top in the Stavanger finale, edging out veteran Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X) who is almost twice the winner’s age.
Brennan can’t seem to stop winning in his first pro season with Visma-Lease a Bike, which started with a handful of small French races in March, giving way then to WorldTour wins at the Volta a Catalunya and Tour de Romandie. Including the times he’s raised his arms with the Development squad, he’s brought his tally to 10 so far in 2025.
