Hermans looking to carry form into Arctic Race of Norway
Ben Hermans lines-up at the Arctic Race of Norway as one of the main favourites for the overall win after his third place on GC at the recent Tour de Pologne.
The BMC all-rounder is aware of his tag as the pre-race favourite but isn’t letting the pressure get to him.

"This year I’ve had more chances for myself and the team have given me more races where I could be the leader where I could play my cards. Also I’ve had some luck in some races," Hermans told the press before stage 1.
The four-day Arctic race of Norway starts with a 213.5km stage starting and finishing in Harstad. It should suit the powerful sprinters, with Hermans an outsider for the stage.
"Regarding the last few races I think I’ve got a fair chance here. The parcours suits me but there are a lot of other guys who are strong, like [Mathias] Frank. I also hope that this race, and then a few more races can bring me to a higher level for the Worlds but I have to still make sure I’m in the selection there."
