A lot of national champions in LToN

Posted on 17. July 2018 by Roy Moberg

There will be a lot of national champions jerseys in this years Ladies Tour of Norway. Most of the countries have now had their nationals, and it looks like several of the winners will be seen on the roads in Norway in August.

We’ve already reported that Vita Heine (road) and Line Marie Gulliksen (TT) won the Norwegian jerseys. Both riding for Hitec Products and likely to start this years LToN.

”Worst” is the world’s best team, Dutch outfit Boels-Dolmans. The two World Champions Amalie Dideriksen and Chantal Blaak won in Denmark and the Netherlands. But Blaak will wear her World Champions jersey that she won in Bergen last September. Boels-Dolmans also have the jersey from Luxembourg where Christine Majerus defended her title from last year.

We might also see the Swedish champions jersey. In our neighbour country it was Emilia Fahlin (Wiggle High5) who won the championships and she took part in the LToN also last year. But it was a little surprise that triathlon star Lisa Nordén won the TT-gold in Sweden.

Here are most of the national champions in 2018:
