Final start lists for Ladies Tour of Norway 2019 is now ready, and you will find them 
Last years runner-up Emilia Fahlin from Sweden is not yet ready to compete after her crash earlier this year. Therefore she misses one of her favourite races, the Ladies Tour of Norway starting on Thursday this week.
But her French FDJ-team have found an interesting substitute:
New signing Stine Borgli from Norway!
The 29 year old from Sandnes has just signet for FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope, which is the full name of the team. She showed herself with a strong 9th place in Sundays WorldTour-race in Vårgårda, Sweden.
Many people have been surprised the 29 year old hasn’t had a professional team the last years. This year she has won the Vuelta Burgos in Spain and been third on GC at the Tour of Scotland.
Stine has now a contract at the highest level and it’s no doubt she has taken this level. But to replace Emilia Fahlin from last year will not be easy, the 30 year old Swede had a super season last year with a 4th place at the World Championships in Austria.
Stine Borgli will be supported by experienced riders like the 36 year old German Charlotte Becker who has been in the Norwegian outfit Hitec-Products for some years. She won the WorldTour in China last year. Aussie Lauren Kitchen is also a rider adding experience to the team in Norway.

Preliminary startlist for Ladies Tour of Norway 2019 is now published, and you will find them 
The main “bible” for any road race – Technical Guide is now published for this year’s edition of Ladies Tour of Norway, and you will find it at the top of the right menu at the front page of our websiteStage 4, Svinesund-Halden 156,2 km:
If you lose time at the Knardal hill on Saturday, there is a possibility to take it back on Sunday’s final stage.
The organizers are keeping the queens stage from the last years, 156 challenging kilometers crossing between Norway and Sweden several times just south of Halden and Iddefjorden.
From the start at the old Svinesund bridge, the course will hit the costal city of Strømstad before heading inland and crossing into Norway again after 55,9 km. But it’s just for a short period as the riders will be in Sweden again after 71 km.
Here they will hit the 7 km part with gravel road before they enter Norway for the last time at Kornsjø where they will fight for the special border sprint jersey to the first rider crossing the border here.
After a quick desend to Halden, the riders will hit the 5 km long circuit which will be covered with three full laps. The finish line is the same as last year at the harbour in central Halden.
The first KoM-sprint is in the short hill by Daftø Camping south of Strømstad. Only 400 meters straight ahead with 1 % average climb will not spread the field apart. The second KoM is in Norway after 61,5 km where the climb is 2,2 km with an average of 3,5 %.
There are two possibilities to get points on the flat sprints this day. The first coming already after 18,9 km before Strømstad. Then the riders have to wait untill the crossing of the finish line at 140,5 km before the next possibility to take points on the green jersey.
The stage is 156,2 km, close to what is allowed for ladies stageraces. And with already three heavy days in their legs, it’s normally a lot of tired riders in Halden this day. It’s not expected that the bunch will come all together to the finish.
But it is expected that the crowd will come out in big numbers. They are normally very good at visiting the final stage of the Ladies Tour of Norway in Halden.

Stage 3, Moss-Halden 125,3km:
For the first time the Ladies Tour of Norway has a real mountaintop finish. The race will probably be decided at the finish of the third stage between Moss and Halden when the riders will tackle the feared Knardal hill to the Fredriksten fortress twice. The average of the climb is 7,3 % over 1,3 km.
– We’ve sometims got criticism because the finish of our stages have been too simular to each others, and we have for a long time wanted a mountaintop finish, says race director Roy Moberg, who will now experience a tough finish in his hometown of Halden.
For the first time the race also has Moss as a starting city. The ferry city by the Oslofjord has wanted to be in the race for a long time and now they will host the start of stage 3 on Saturday. It’s the same starting area that was used twice for the mens Tour of Norway, and it was always a great atmosphere here at the start by the channel.
The riders will head to the inner of the region Østfold again on their way to Halden. After going north from the start they will be eastbound to Skiptvet before crossing Norway’s longest river Glomma close to Norway’s biggest powerstation at Vamma.
The route from Eidsberg church to Rakkestad is the same as used the day before, but from here the riders will go south in the direction of Sarpsborg before cutting over to highway 22 which will take them to Halden.
The final circuit is 7,5 km and after a quick downhill from Fredriksten the route goes through the center of Halden, where it passes the finish line on Sunday, well known for most of the riders. But then it goes up, all the way to the finish at Fredriksten. More than 1,5 km with some real steep parts, this is supposed to be the place where the GC is decided.
The two flat sprints on the stage are situated at Våler after 21 km and at the crossing of Sunday’s finish line in Halden after 116,2 km – just before the climb. The first KoM is at Stutfosstjern between Våler and Skiptvet where the World Championships in orienteering just have packed after their races the week before LToN. This climb is 4,9 km long and the average is only 2,3 %. There are also KoM-points at stake at the finish line after 125,3 km. The last climb is 1,3 km with 7,3 % average.
Halden is the home city for LToN and they normally have the most spectators. So there will probably be a big crowd cheering for the riders up the brutal hill to the finish line.
