Now, the next generation steps forward with enthusiasm and determination.
“Team Nordic Expérience (TNE) is the historic French team on the Ski Classics circuit. Known for its resilient spirit, the team has, despite limited resources, developed and propelled athletes to the highest Ski Classics level,” says Pro Team Director Maxime Grenard, adding:
