About August

A smart rider who is an integral part of the stage race squads. August had the most race days in the 2022 season, completing 10,836 km in competition. The Norwegian has a sharp turn of pace and can go well on shorter climbs as showcased by his stage victory in the 2017 Arctic Race of Norway, a race where he also finished second on GC. He can also deputize as a bunch sprinter on rolling parcours as he showed on stage 2 of the International Tour of Hellas. 

Hailing from the Arctic Circle, August’s ice-cold skills, knowledge and experience are as vital to the team as much as his no-nonsense attitude. Away from the bike, August likes to cross-country ski, is an admirer of art and hangs out with his girlfriend and their cat Oskar, whom they, “love like a child.”
