One of Ski Classics’ longest-running Pro Teams enters Season XVIII under a new sponsor name, with Kaffebryggeriet joining as a new partner.

Based near Lillehammer and Sjusjøen, the team has been part of Ski Classics since its founding in 2015 and has often challenged for a top 10 finish in the Pro Team Competition over the years.

Four athletes continue from last season: Jonas Bergli, Bastien Laurent, Anders Grini, and Grunde Myhrer. The roster is otherwise significantly reshaped. Two of the headline additions for Season XVIII are Morten Eide Pedersen and Lisa Vinsa.

Pedersen has been part of Ski Classics since its inception, a three-time Jizerská 50 winner with 144 Pro events to his name, arriving from Team Eksjöhus. Vinsa joins after 11 years at the World Cup level with Piteå Elit, where she reached a top 10 finish and two 14th-place finishes at the Tour de Ski, and won a Swedish Championship silver medal behind Ebba Andersson. She raced Vasaloppet and Birkebeinerrennet for Team Burger King Northug last winter before this move.
