The Norwegian Pro Team, Team Coop, consists of four Pro athletes for season XI.
“I hope to be among the top 20-30 in all races and higher up on the day’s everything falls into place,” says Pro Team Director and Pro Team athlete Petter Soleng Skinstad.
As for almost all Pro Teams, the pre-season has been different than planned for Team Coop.
“We have not been able to carry out the training camps we had planned but it has not affected how we trained. We are well prepared for season XI,” says Petter Soleng Skinstad.
In season X Petter did his first Visma Ski Classis season. His best result was a 29th place in Toblach-Cortina.
“I had a good development in season XI. Now I have trained better with a full focus on long-distance skiing. I hope to be among the top 20-30 in all races and higher up on the day’s everything falls into place,” says Petter.
For Petter’s brother Mårten and the Pro team’s Spanish athlete Marta Cester, their debut season in the Pro tour awaits
“They’re really looking forward to season XI,” says Petter.
Team Coop also consists of one of the world’s fastest 100 meter skiers. Former world record holder Marte Nordlunde.
“Marte will focus on studies this year, but she maybe will do some races where she can show her speed.”
In season X, Dario Colonga did a guest appearance in Team Coop at Marcialonga. Dario maybe will do one or more races also during season XI. It depends a bit on how the World Cup season will be.
“We have an ongoing dialogue with Dario and also with other athletes with World Cup and Olympic medals who we hope can join the team in a few races,” Skinstad ends.
