Rooted in the Czech Republic, the eD system Silvini Team and Vltava Fund Ski Team joined forces as a new Pro Team, the eD system Vltava Fund Team, with a group of dedicated athletes with solid performances and a youth program.
Comprising nine Pro Team athletes, four women and five men, from the Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden, and France: Hedda Bangman (1995), Karolina Grohova(1990), Anna-Marie Hejna (1999), Hanna Fine (2000), Thomas Bing (1990), Fabian Stocek (1994), Jan Srail (1990), Vaclav Sedlacek (1986), and AlesBohaty(1996).
For Season XVI, the eD system Vltava Fund Team will keep the long tradition in Ski Classics and will fight to be one of the best non-Scandinavian Pro Teams in the circuit.
"The eD system Vltava Fund Team was created by combining two strong teams that have been active in Ski Classics since the very beginning. The newly formed team will try to turn this long tradition in classic long-distance racing into the strongest team outside of Scandinavia," says the Pro Team Director Marek Pazdersky and adds:
"The team's core consists of leading Czech skiers, complemented by experienced team leaders Thomas Bing from Germany and Hedda Bangman from Sweden."
eD system Vlatava Fund Team motto is simple: "Skiing is everything to us, enjoyable, and we do it with our hearts, but at the same time we take nothing lightly and try to create the conditions for our skiers to be competitive," says the Pro Team Director and concludes:
"We go to races and training camps with the race team and our other members, of which we currently have around 200. We all try to be as prepared as possible. In addition, we organize several races in roller skiing (e.g., Lipnolopet) and long-distance skiing (e.g., BoBolopet 90km)."
