We are now one month away from Mitsubishi Electric World Classic Tour season start with BLINK24! Let’s have an eye on this AMAZING event and on the great forces at play.
Lysebotn Opp Double Poling, the lengendary uphill in the fjords
7,5 km, 27 hairpin turns with 10% average incline only climbed with the strength of the arms: it will be tough, even for the best double polers in the world! Here is the program for the first stage, and as usual, a large audience will be present to witness the show.
Last season, Andrew Musgrave and Astrid Øyre Slind, both from Team Aker Dahlie, dominated this unique event, winning hands down.
Following her victory in the general classification last summer, Astrid Øyre Slind will line up at the starting line in yellow, alongside Thomas Joly, newly recruited by Team Ramudden, who will be wearing the Champion bib as well.
Join us on July 31 to see if they can defend these prestigious bibs!
Thomas Joly – Team Ramudden and Astrid Oyre Slind – Team Aker Dahlie, overall winners of Mitsubishi Electric World Classic Tour 2023.
BLINK Classics at Ålgård, great track, great fight
Amidst stunning landscapes, fjords, and mountains, the start line—always an incredible sight—will set the stage for competitors to battle it out on this demanding course.
Slind and Musgrave achieved the double last year by also securing victory in this second stage.
During this stage, the first points in the ranking for the season’s best sprinter will be distributed.
Can Astrid Øyre Slind and Stian Hoelgaard, also from Team Aker Dahlie and hailing from Ålgård (the stage’s start and finish town), defend their green jerseys as last summer’s top sprinters?
The pack – BLINK Classics at Aalgaard.
