Tomorrow, Saturday June 5, the new roller ski race Båstad-Mölle takes place in the south of Sweden.

“The athletes look forward to the race tomorrow. We are on our way out to test parts of the race course now,” says Team Curira’s new Pro Team Director Johan Kask.
The Norwegian Stian Hoelgaard makes his debut for his new Swedish Pro Team, Team Curira. With him is Klas Nilsson and the team’s recent acquisition Gabriel Thorn.
Theres will be a prestigious battle between Team Curira and Team Ramudden in the men’s race with their strong trio: Max Novak, Johannes Eklöf and Herman Paus.
“It will be an exciting battle against Team Ramudden, but there are also several other really strong roller ski specialists attending the race, says Johan Kask.

The Team Ramudden trio will face Hedda Bångman, for the first time in her new team, Team Eksjöhus and one of Team Curira’s new acquisitions, Hanna Lodin.
