Next season, no World Cup is running. Then the highlight will be the new ski trip between Östersund and Trondheim, which will be arranged in February.
The program is reminiscent of the Tour de Ski, but the final climb in the killer hill in Val di Fiemme gets its equivalent already at the start of the competition.
On the third race day, there will be sprint in Åre, but in an unusual way. Each heat gets a tough finish up the ski slope where the downhill skiers usually go downhill.
sustainability- It will be a different sprint. I can promise. It will be climbing and lactic acid that applies, says the former elite rider Anders Södergren, one of the ambassadors for the tour.
It is not yet determined how far the sprinters will go on the alpine slope, but it will be a tough finish.
The competition ties Norway and Sweden together and the emphasis is on sustainability and environmental thinking. Therefore, the riders must ride trains between the stages.
"As a Championship"The tour, which is decided for the first time, will start in Östersund. After the sprint in Åre, the skiers will start a mass start between Storlien on the Swedish side of the border and Meråker in Norway. The distance of 38 kilometers is longer than the elite riders in the World Cup usually run.
The finish is in Trondheim with sprint and then a long hunting start of 15 kilometers and 30 kilometers for ladies and gentlemen respectively.
The Swedish riders look forward to the new competition form.
- Ski Tour 2020 I think will feel like a championship and become a public party because it is such a big skiing interest in that area, Charlotte Kalla previously told TT.
