2021 Ladies Tour of Norway

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]
