Team Edux, the Finnish Pro Team, enters Season XVIII with a new Pro Team Director and a headline signing in Alfred Buskqvist.

Representing Finland with pride, the Pro Team combines competitive ambition with a strong team spirit and aims to inspire the next generation of skiers in Finland.

Six athletes continue from last season: Isac Holmström, Lauri Mannila, Miro Karppanen, Sofia Lindberg, Emmi Lämsä and Cubs skier Ella Noora Haapalehto.

Mannila, who switched from sprint skiing to long-distance racing, led the way in his first full Ski Classics season, with a best result of 12th at the Orsa Grönklitt ITT. He capped the winter with bronze in the 50km at the Finnish Championships in Inari, won the Värnamorullen, a Ski Classics Challengers event, in September, and named winning Vasaloppet as his long-term dream.

Holmström came back from an injury-hit start to finish with a career-best 22nd place at the Grand Finale Summit 2 Senja, and over the summer Lämsä and Haapalehto finished second and third at the Tiera Taivalkoski-Syöte Challenger.

Buskqvist spent the summer without a team after Team Ramudden disbanded. After a call to Holmström, a contract proposal followed the same afternoon, and he now joins Edux with podium finishes as his goal for the new season. The team’s preparations include a high-altitude camp in France in October.
