Welshman Stevie Williams has won the Arctic Race of Norway after finishing 10th on the final stage.

The Israel-Premier Tech rider went into Sunday's fourth and final stage as the overall leader after winning the third stage amid difficult conditions.

France's Clément Champoussin, who was overall second behind Williams, won the stage.

But Williams finished in the lead pack in 10th place to secure overall victory.

"I'm really happy to be the winner of this race, the guys rode amazing all day, honestly," Williams said.

"The way the guys held that break at two minutes and thirty seconds all day, with sixteen guys in front was incredible, and to finish it off today, and yesterday's stage win, it couldn't have gone better.

"It has been a great week for us."
