If a strong name is joining the group on the men’s side, on the women’s side, a solid name is leaving the squad.

Kati Roivas, the Finnish Pro Tour athlete, had by far the best season of her career last season. Now, the seventh place overall at the Ski Classics Champion competition Season XIV joined Team Eksjöhus for two seasons.
