The Ladies Tour of Norway has returned to the calendar after being cancelled in 2020, and this year held from August 12-15 in the region of Østfold. 

Normally a punchy sprinters affair, this year's seventh edition of the race could see a dramatically different outcome as organisers have introduced a first-ever mountaintop finish that will feature on stage 3 at the Norefjell ski resort.
