UCI has now unveiled their revised 2020 calendar for the UCI Women’s WorldTour. On the calendar, Ladies Tour of Norway 2020 is listed to be arranged from 13th. to 16th. of August as original schedulded. But due to national restrictions in Norway, there are still some challenges to deal with.

The limitations of all events in Norway gathering more than 500 people are extended until 1st. of September. A limit that still gives us the opportunity to organize the event, but without spectators. The Norwegian government has now launched an updated timeline of restrictions for sports and cultural events, and this new timeline gives us some hope, but restrictions regarding social distance, border control etc. might still make it challenging.

But the planning of Ladies Tour of Norway 2020 continues, and we hope to get a clearer view of everything withinin a couple of weeks.

We will keep you posted about the development, and still hope to see you all in August!

Here you will find the article from UCI.

A different and unreal Easter holiday for all of us is upcoming, and it is more than ever important that we stand together and care for each other, however of course at recommended distance 🙂 It is also important that we meet the rules prescribed by the authorities so we as soon as possible can get back to normal conditions again. And by that means also be able to arrange road races again!

Our own high-profiled LToN chicken is fully booked with important Easter missions these days, but luckily he has taken the time to come up with an encouraging greeting to all cycling enthusiasts:

The organization committee also wish everyone a peacefull Easter, and hopefully we will meet again in August for Ladies Tour of Norway 2020

Ladies Tour of Norway – a World Tour event featuring the women’s road bicycle elite in a unique, Scandinavian landscape setting – will partner with Spring Media for its 7th annual competition between August 13th–16th, 2020. Spring Media will take on the role as media partner: being the production arm and distributing the event to markets worldwide.

The competition, hosted in Southeastern Norway, will take on 4 stages of close to 550 kilometers total, covering more ground locally than ever before while crossing over to neighboring Sweden. Ladies Tour of Norway has established itself as one of the leading and most innovative female bicycle competitions worldwide and continues to take steps of development.

The race organization – comprised of personnel with solid experience from various major UCI events in Norway, local host club Halden CK, and other enthusiasts eager to promote women’s cycling – are describing an extreme surge in global interest for its 2020 edition.

All 8 World Tour teams and a select fourteen highly ranked by the Union Cycliste International (UCI) will partake. Ladies Tour of Norway thus guarantees a starting list rare to most other competitions worldwide. Dutch poster name Marianne Vos (team CCC-Liv) has topped the podium three consecutive years, yet route variations and challenging terrain leave room for a contender.

Roy Moberg, Race Director at Ladies Tour of Norway, comments:
– Seeing that the interest for Ladies Tour of Norway keeps growing internationally, we are very excited to be partnering with Spring Media. We expect this partnership to give us a stronger foothold internationally through more extensive global distribution, while upholding a high-quality distribution nationally. Spring Media are innovative in its solutions, particularly when it comes to digital platforms. We wish to be innovative in relation to the TV-product that we’re developing: with care for stable production solutions while also attracting a younger crowd through digital exposure.

Hans Svelander, Partner at Spring Media, comments:
– We’re thrilled to be working with the Ladies Tour of Norway – a highly popular event with enormous potential at the international stage. As the Tour is underlining its position in the region, our team will look to package a high-end product and tap into unsold territories internationally.
