The idea was that Daniel Richardsson, 37, would have competed in Falun. But yesterday he was told that this will not be the case.

For Richardsson, long journeys in Czech Jizerska Padesatka await. It is the last competition in the southern parts of Europe in the cup.

- We all know what capacity Daniel has in terms of long runs on tough tracks. That is exactly what is being offered in Jizerska, so it will be interesting to see what he can do, says sports head Anton Järnberg.

Other riders are: Britta Johansson Norgren, Elin Mohlin, Emil Persson, Andreas Holmberg, Marcus Johansson and Öyvind Moen Fjeld.
