These coffee athletes from Norway and the Czech Republic have been around Ski Classics for some time now and are merging with Team DRIV for the upcoming season. After securing the 10th position in the Pro Team ranking during Season XV, Team Kaffebryggeriet DRIV looks forward to the forthcoming winter and stepping up on the podium. 

Team Kaffebryggeriet DRIV has seven Pro Team athletes, three women and four men, ready to fight for points and a podium place this winter. For Season XVI, the squad counts on a roster of six athletes from Norway and one from the Czech Republic: Sandra Schützová (1991), Maren Engeskaug Nielsen (1995), Fanny Marie Moeller Endresen (1993), Vetle Thyli (1989), Simen Bratberg Ramstad (1996), Fredrik Helgestad (1997), and Henrik Haugland Syverinsen (1996).

Vetle Thyli is the most experienced athlete on the team, and he has managed to be close to the podium in a couple of races throughout his career. Sandra Schützová can be a top-10 finisher if the stars align for her, and Henrik Haugland Syverinsen had a really good race day at Birkebeinerrennet last winter, finishing 17th.

Fredrik Helgestad’s best day took place at La Venosta Criterium, where he was the 12th-best male skier. Maren Engeskaug Nielsen and Fanny Marie Moeller Endresen aim to be among the 15 fastest female athletes in Season XVI.

“Team Kaffebryggeriet merges with Team DRIV. This is the coffebreewer’s sixth season in Ski Classics. In fact, they love coffee so much that it’s literally in their veins. But now, they are taking the team a step further by merging with DRIV. DRIV is a training concept based in Oslo for personal trainers and therapists,” says the Pro Team Director Matias Noren and adds:

“A key aspect for the team is the increased focus on the women’s team, which will be extra strong this year. Additionally, the men’s team is expected to take new steps to fight for jerseys and points in every race.”

For Ski Classics Season XVI, the Norwegian Pro Team aims high: “This underdog team based in Norway is not here to take part; they are here to take over,” concludes Noren.
