Stiansen, who has a professional contract with Tudor-laget, received praise from teammate Kasper Haugland: "He deserved it, it's completely awesome. I didn't think it was possible with one lap to go. I was with Jesper then, and he looked tired too. It's incredible to manage to take bronze in this company."
