45 kilometers after the start, six drivers were able to compete, including the former Belgian road champion Preben van Hecke (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise). The group had achieved a maximum lead of four minutes and with 25 kilometers to go, all of the outliers were caught up again. On the last mountain classification of the day, 18 kilometers from the finish, Edvald Boasson Hagen (Norway / Dimension Data), Pieter Weening (Netherlands / Rompoot), Sander Armée (Belgium / Lotto Soudal), Simon Gerrans (Australia / Orica), Robert attacked Power (Australia / Orica) and Andreas Vangstad (Norway / Sparebanken). The six drivers pulled away. Out of this group, Weening won the stage in Lillehammer when he drove away from the group two kilometers from the finish and was thus also the leader in the overall standings.
On this stage, five drivers were able to break away immediately after the start and were given a maximum of ten minutes. The group included Antonio Molina (Spain / Caja Rural), Adrian Kurek (Poland / CCC) and Dimitri Peyskens (Belgium / WB Veranclassic). With seven kilometers to go, Kurek and Peyskens were the last outliers to be caught by the field. In the end there was a mass sprint in Sarpsborg , which Dylan Groenewegen (Netherlands / LottoNL-Jumbo) won ahead of Edvald Boasson Hagen . Pieter Weening came with the field at the same time as Groenewegen and thus kept his yellow jersey.
The stage was determined by a six-man leading group. Also there was the later mountain classification winner Preben van Hecke (Belgium / Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise). Six minutes the six drove themselves out and were put back a good 30 kilometers from the finish. There were further attacks from the field in strong headwinds, including by Tony Gallopin (France / Lotto Soudal) or Lars Boom (Netherlands / LottoNL-Jumbo). But these were not successful. In the end there was a sprint of around 50 drivers in Oslo , which Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data) won ahead of Simon Gerrans (Orica). Due to the bonus seconds that there were at the finish, Boasson Hagen and Gerrans were able to place Pieter Weening , who was third in the overall ranking. The winner of the Tour of Norway 2017 was Boasson Hagen ahead of Gerrans. Boasson Hagen even fell 12 kilometers and was able to retreat into the field.
