Carl Fredrik Hagen (born 26 September 1991) is a Norwegian cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam .[5]

Career

Hagen was born in Oppegård. In August 2019, he was named in the startlist for the Vuelta a España.[6] At the age of 27 this was his first entrance into a Grand Tour, and he rode exceedingly well. While he was not able to answer every attack made by the elite general classification riders, he did answer the majority of them and as a result he surpassed all expectations earning a top 10 finish coming in almost three minutes behind Wilco Kelderman who finished seventh, and nearly ten minutes ahead of Marc Soler who finished 9th.[7]

In August 2020, it was announced that Hagen was to join from the 2021 season, on a two-year contract.[4] In October 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Giro d'Italia.[8]
