The Norwegian Pro Team athlete caused a good impression this summer with the elite skiers and has added flavor to the upcoming Ski Classics Season XV.

Amund Riege, Team Ramudden, has arrived like a bullet in the Ski Classics circuit. Last year, he took the Pink Youth bib by a superior margin. The Norwegian from Oslo was on the podium in the prestigious Jizerská50 in the Czech Republic, finished 6^th in Marcialonga and 12^th at Vasaloppet. 

There are many indications that Amund Riege has taken further steps towards this year’s season. 

This summer, he caused a good impression with the established elite from both the World Cup and Ski Classics in several of the season’s most important lead-up races: Riege, who competes for the Swedish Pro Team, Team Ramudden, won the long-distance race at Toppidrettsveka in August, and crushed the long-distance elite in the Klarälvsloppet in October. The 90km long roller ski race from Uddeholm to Karlstad is a pointer to who will assert themselves in the winter’s long-distance races, not least Vasaloppet.

You won Klarälvsloppet against many of those who will now be your rivals. What does that mean?  
“It means a lot, especially that I managed to win. Roller skiing is roller skiing, but getting those answers is promising.” 

What expectations do you have for the premiere weekend?  
“I have been a little sick in the run-up, but I hope my body is balanced. I haven’t been able to train at team pace since I was sick, but we’ll see if I can fit into the group.”
