The 2021 Ladies Tour of Norway was the eighth edition of the Ladies Tour of Norway, a women's road cycling stage race in Norway. The event took place from 12 to 15 August 2021 and is part of the 2021 UCI Women's World Tour.[1] This edition is expected to be the last stand-alone Ladies Tour of Norway, as the race is set to expand to a six-day tour of Scandinavia (the Battle of the North) in 2022 that will also visit Denmark and Sweden.[2]

Teams

[edit]

All nine UCI Women's WorldTeams, eight UCI Women's Continental Teams, and the Norwegian national team made up the eighteen teams that participated in the race.[3] FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope, Liv Racing, Team BikeExchange, and Tibco–Silicon Valley Bank were the only teams to not enter a full squad of six riders; these four teams each entered five riders. Of the 104 riders who started the race, 95 finished.[4][5]
