by Leandro Lutz • 17.12.2021
The Visma Ski Classics Season XII starts with the Pro Team Tempo in Orsa Grönklitt, Sweden. This is a brand-new location for the kick-off. The distance of the Tempo is 9km – and they will ski fast!

The Pro Team Tempo format offers a great platform for all Pro Teams to present their athletes, race suits and sponsors.

TEAMWORK TO REACH TOP SPEED

The Pro Team Tempo event is organized as an interval start competition with block starts, one Pro Team is starting at a time in reversed order according to the Pro Team ranking of last season. The gap between the blocks is 4 minutes and the women athletes start 30 seconds after their men Pro Team athletes. The finishing time of the 2nd ranked man and the 2nd ranked woman of the team will count for the classification. This means it is crucial for the athletes to work together and help each other to reach joint top speed.

A CROSS-COUNTRY HEAVEN
