Race Season 2024 is ON!
Hanna has been away in Spain racing the beautiful 3-day stage race Santa Vall. It was tough!
First day was a prologue - a 6km hill climb, second day a shorter stage with two timed segments - really fun! - and the last day a traditional race of 115km over the sweet gravel and pretty hills surrounding Girona.

The field was highly competitive, Hanna finished in 15th place overall. Unfortunately she had a pretty bad last day and lost a lot of time, unable to defend her 7th place after some good racing on day 1 and 2.
No matter the result, it feels great that the season has already started, and we’re all looking forward to more racing soon! 💥

From the Canary Islands to Girona with a quick stop in Stockholm to change bikes… Hanna is ready to start the gravel racing season with the three-day stage race
Let’s go!

Maja and Hanna are currently on training camp on Gran Canaria. Working hard for the upcoming season start (stay tuned!) but also making sure to enjoy the sunshine.

Winter training is in full swing, and our team is dispersed between Spain and Sweden.
Guayén is enjoying her home roads in the Spanish Pyrenees, with plenty of climbing and a good mix of road cycling and XC skiing cross-training (yes, there’s great skiing in Spain too!).

Stay tuned to see what the rest of the team is up to during the winter!

Last weekend, we participated in the biggest gravel race of the year, the Gravel World Championships! It’s been one of our goals since the start of the season, that all of us compete in the World Champs and we are proud that all three riders made it there! It’s fair to say that it was a very tough race, somewhat different from all the other gravel races we have done this year. Of course, the field was impressive, with some of the best pro riders in the world lining up. The course was very diverse, with a lot of tarmac roads mixed up with crazy steep hills and technical gravel sections. We are super happy that we made it there and are taking plenty of experience with us for next year's racing! @hnajoh and @guayen raced in the Elite category, representing Sweden and Spain respectively. Hanna, still fighting some illness, crashed early in the race, and her streak of bad luck continued with a puncture, a chain drop, and all those bad things that can happen in a gravel race, resulting in a 60th-place. Guayén struggled through the steep hills, enjoyed the downhills and fought through the heat to make it to the finish in 75th place. @majyaa represented Sweden in the age group 19-34 and also had a tough race around the Veneto hills, finishing 12th.

Off season is here!
