8th Tour of Scandinavia 2022 - Battle Of The North - Stage 5

Tour of Scandinavia History

The Tour of Scandinavia was born out of the Ladies Tour of Norway that ran from 2014-2021, the idea was created to make the race a wider Scandinavian one. Initially called the Battle of the North, in the wake of the war in Ukraine it was renamed to the Tour of Scandinavia. It was supposed to include the racing in Vårgårda as well for its Swedish elements but eventually that organisation pulled out last year. 

Table of Contents

One stage was sorted in Sweden in the end but it’s hoped there would be more. It’s a similar story this season with a Swedish stage planned but unable to take place. There’s a wider issue with road racing in Sweden at the moment where even the national championships was forced onto an airfield at the last minute this year.  So Sweden misses out, despite having strong riders like Fahlin, Borgstrom, Andersson, Rissveds and Eklund in the peloton at the moment. Denmark steps up this year, going from one stage to a pair of stages. 

Last year’s race was dominated by Marianne Vos in the sprints, with the Dutch rider picking up for 4 victories. The GC came down to the climb up Norefjell rather than any of the other stages. Cecille Uttrup Ludwig was the favourite and wanted to win a race that included her native Denmark. She rode away on the climb and won the stage and GC comfortably as a result. 

This year’s race should largely follow a similar theme but with a twist. There are easy sprint stages, rolling sprint stages, the climb to Norefjell and new for this season, a 16.4km time trial in Herning. Norefjell comes on the 2nd stage and will set the GC before the time trial coming on the penultimate stage.

Tour of Scandinavia 2023 Contenders

Annemiek van Vleuten

Probably the last serious chance for a race win is in the Tour of Scandinavia for Annemiek van Vleuten . She will race the Simac Ladies Tour after this but that will be more of a swansong farewell race. The TT and solid climb here really suit some GC ambitions. Teammate Liane Lippert will be feeling high after the Tour de France Femmes stage win this year . The German should have an eye on Stage 1 for an attack to the line on the final small climbs. Movistar has a couple of sprinting options in the form of another Tour de France Femmes stage winner Emma Norsgaard and the Cuban star Arlenis Sierra . Norsgaard is trying to position herself away from being an out-and-out sprinter and Sierra is a fairly similar style rider too. There might be enough in the stage for them to contest Stages 1 and 3 with Stage 5 probably too pure a sprint.

Team Jayco-AlUla’s star GC rider of the season, Ane Santesteban , has already confirmed that she will be moving to Laboral Kutxa for 2024 . There’s another chance here to add to her GC top-10s this season and whilst the time trial won’t suit too much the finish on Norefjell should give her some time to play with. Alex Manly won a stage here last season for the team but this year’s sprint options will include Ruby Roseman-Gannon and Letizia Paternoster . Both tend to alternate a little bit as we’ve seen at the Giro Donne . One thing to note is the Covid positive that Ruby Roseman-Gannon had that effectively saw her unable to race at the World Championships a couple of weeks ago. She might also do alright in the time trial too if back to full strength.

Ricarda Bauernfeind should be a threat after a strong Tour de France Femmes that saw her take a stage win and finish 9th overall. She’s not the best but also not the worst against the clock and that should keep her in the top 10 at least here. Canyon SRAM will be looking for her to be a major threat on the climbs and maybe there’s another attack up her sleeve. It’ll be interesting to see how Elise Chabbey gets on here. Another rider who can be decent in a time trial, she was 7th in Glasgow and will be a great attacking option and no doubt in the hunt for the QoM jersey again. It feels like ages since Maike van der Duin was racing but she’s had a strong year on the road that’s been interrupted by her racing on the track with an eye on the Worlds and the Olympics next year. With Wiebes here, she probably won’t be winning a stage but will be well up there.

Emilia Fahlin

Emilia Fahlin nearly took a stage victory here last season, finishing just behind Marianne Vos in a sprint.  It’s a recurring theme, back in 2018 when it was the Ladies Tour of Norway, Fahlin finished 2nd in GC behind…Marianne Vos. And twice more in stages that year too. Once again the Swedish national champion, she will be repping the colours on the closest thing to local roads this UCI season and is on the hunt for a 2024 contract. Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig  will be looking to retain the title she won last season . She was able to ride away on Norefjell and win last year’s Tour of Scandinavia. The time trial makes that a little bit harder this year but it’s possible for her to gain enough time on the climb to maybe think about the podium. 3rd at the World Championships will fill her with confidence. Grace Brown and Vittoria Guazzini both have a shot as well via the time trial. Presumably, they will be supporting Uttrup Ludwig and not have their own GC ambitions but they can do very well against the clock here.

The 2023 season started well for Kirsta Doebel-Hickok with 5th in GC at the Tour Down Under and 9th in the Cadel Evans Road Race too. Since then it’s been a little tough with crashes in particular. Whilst on the attack at Itzulia Women, the American crashed and suffered a broken collarbone. The extent of that crash and the relative lull in big WWT races has meant we’ve not seen her race since mid-May. If she’s back to her best then she’ll be one to watch on Norefjell.

Human Powered Health’s  Daria Pikulik  took an important win this week at Konvert Kortrijk Koerse . She comfortably outsprinting Julie de Wilde at the end of some hard racing. It was her 3rd win of the 2023 season and she’s been consistently in the top 10 in sprints since the last win in May. 

The combination of  Claire Steels  and  Tamara Dronova   will be on the hunt for a good result here. We’ll see Dronova have a go in some sprints, particularly on the rolling terrain days. She had a reasonably consistent Tour de France Femmes without hitting proper highs. With over 50 race days in 2023, Claire Steels still pushes on and I think we can expect her to be in the low teens on GC here. She did a good TT at the Tour de Suisse back in June where she finished 7th but was off the pace on the final day after a tough Tour de France Femmes. 

Ashleigh Moolman Pasio AG QS Soudal 2023

Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio is going to be a surefire contender but the introduction of a TT probably prevents a real shot at the overall here. It would be great to see a repeat of last year’s end-of-year form where she was able to drop a dominant Annemiek van Vleuten at the Tour de Romandie . It’s certainly possible on Norefjell and the South African should be one of the best climbers here. What will also be curious to see is if she tries to make up any time on other stages before the TT. Teammate Maaike Boogaard is worth a mention after 3rd place at GP Oetingen this week. The team hasn’t brought a sprinter like Ally Wollaston here so there is plenty of scope to attack again. Ilse Pluimers should have a good ride in the time trial stage too.

There’s no Marianne Vos this year for Jumbo-Visma with the star racing on gravel this week. Amber Kraak should be a good GC threat though. The winner of La Perigord Ladies this year , Kraak has looked impressive in this sort of shorter GC race. 9th in the Tour de Suisse and 11th at Itzulia Women, the time trial here should give her a reasonable shout. The team also has Kim Cadzow , the New Zealander is an impressive pure climber and can be used to take pressure off Kraak on the climb. You also can’t rule out  Carlijn Achtereekte to do well in the time trial. Top 10s against the clock in the Baloise Ladies Tour gives the former speed skater a chance.

The Elisa Balsamo comeback trail is firmly on. She finished 5th on a Tour de France Femmes stage but clearly wasn’t 100% yet back then. 29th in Glasgow on a tough course is encouraging but maybe at her best, she would be closer to the front again. I can see her being a threat on some of the purer sprint stages but probably unable to beat Wiebes again just yet. The team’s GC hopes will be via Amanda Spratt who was a solid 10th at the Tour de France Femmes after stepping in for Elisa Longo Borghini. She can certainly make the front group on the major climbing stage but might fall back in the GC a bit during the time trial.

Olivia Baril

UAE Team ADQ’s Alena Ivanchenko is going to be an interesting one here. We’ve seen her climb to 8th at Lagos de Covadonga in the Vuelta Femenina and we know that she is a strong time triallist. There’s an outside chance of a podium if everything goes particularly well with a top 10 a fairly solid shout. Her teammate Olivia Baril will also be one to watch after finishing 7th in the final day Tour de France Femmes time trial . The winner of GP Eibar can certainly climb well and is a strong attacking threat as well. Where Ivanchenko can diesel her way to the line, Baril might be able to take the fight on. 

Lorena Wiebes is here for SD Worx, which should take care of the sprint stages in this year’s race. A full train is here for the best sprinter in the peloton, so it feels like a done deal we will see stage wins. GC attention will be on Niamh Fisher-Black . I see the New Zealander being a threat to the climbers but not so much at the time trial. She may take a stage win again like she did at the Tour de Suisse but GC hopes might see her near the bottom of the top 10 here.

Tour of Scandinavia 2023 Outsiders

Sarah Gigante

It’s been just over a year since we last saw Sarah Gigante race, ironically enough it was at the 2022 Tour of Scandinavia. The Aussie has had plenty of injury woes in her last couple of seasons and whilst at her best she might be a contender on Norefjell, I think any hope for a strong result might come in the 16.4km time trial stage instead. It could be a nice way back to form for the 2-time Australian national time trial champion.

It’s always really difficult to pick just when Urska Zigart is going to light things up. A pure climb summit finish here should make her a possible contender if a group is allowed to go in front of the GC favourites. Consistency is often an issue and I can’t see a GC threat but Norefjell should give the Slovenian an opportunity to knock out a one-off pure climb.

Ella Wyllie is going to be a threat here as well. A solid 16th in GC at the Tour de France Femmes, she pushed the eventual white jersey winner to the very end. She plucked away to finish 11th on the Tourmalet , picking off riders who had earlier forged a gap. The time trial will be an issue for her as the Kiwi was only 29th on the Baloise Ladies Tour time trial stage.

Another rider who did well at the Tour de France Femmes that’s here is  Yara Kastelijn . She took a famous stage victory there and nearly won the QoM jersey too. I don’t think we can expect much in the time trial and there are stronger natural climbers out there. So the best way for success will be through attacks and there’s just enough out there on the parcours to reward attempts.

Anouska Koster should be a good all-round threat here. 21st in the Tour de France Femmes was solid enough to maybe allow her to make the top 10 in GC here. Her climbing isn’t as strong as the more obvious GC names here but Norefjell is rarely steep and often stays together until quite late on. We might also see her on the attack as Uno-X look to get attention in their home race, the Tour of Scandinavia.

Top 3 Prediction

  • Annemiek van Vleuten
  • Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio

Women's Tour of Scandinavia 2023 - route, contenders and predictions

The next stage race in the Women’s WorldTour skirts through Denmark and Norway

Words: Amy Jones

Photos: Kenneth Asbjørnsen/Eventfotografene

After a week-long break post- Tour de France Femmes and World Championships , the Women’s WorldTour calendar resumes on Wednesday August 23, 2023, with the second edition of the Tour of Scandinavia or ‘Battle of the North’. While this particular iteration of the event is in its second year, the race has been held since 2014 in its former guise as the Tour of Norway.

The idea behind the ‘Battle of the North’ was to bring together the interests of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden to host a multinational stage race that the organisers hoped to extend to six or more days. Unfortunately, road racing in Sweden has taken a hit in recent years due to financial and bureaucratic restraints meaning that not only will this race not cross its border, but the longstanding Vårgårda Westsweden races have also been axed from the calendar. The absence of Swedish stages means that the Tour of Scandinavia moves from a six-day event across three countries in 2022 to a five-day race across two – Norway and Denmark – in 2023.

Stage one: Mysen - Halden, 124.6km

tour de scandinavia 2023 route

The first stage of the Tour of Scandinavia 2023 starts in Halden, where the fourth stage of last year’s race ended. It is also a town that has been part of the race since its inception in 2014. Last year Alexandra Manly of Jayco Alula took the win in the bunch kick ahead of Chloe Hosking, and the profile of this opening stage is flatter still, making it even more likely that the bunch will come to the line intact. The two QOM points look unlikely to deter the sprinters, but the finishing circuit – which the riders will tackle three times – includes a punchy 1.5km climb that could catch some out or even provide a launchpad for a late break. 

Stage two: Vikersund - Norefjell, 150.5km

tour de scandinavia 2023 route

A summit finish atop Norefjell has become a fixture of this race since it returned to the calendar after Covid in 2021, and the climb provided the launchpad for Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig’s winning move in 2022. This year, however, they approach the Norefjell summit from a slightly different route, taking in the challenging 10km Djupsjøveien climb before the finish line 5km beyond the summit. Even with the gradients easing off towards the top, the climb will likely force the GC hopefuls into action and will prove decisive in the overall competition.

Stage three: Kongsberg - Larvik, 134.9km

tour de scandinavia 2023 route

There is no rest for the riders after the Norefjell finish, with stage three bringing a lumpy point-to-point towards the coast of Norway before the race heads to Denmark for the final two stages. The host towns are new additions to the race, with the start in Kongsberg giving way to a relatively calm start to the day before the peloton takes on the first categorised climb after 50km of racing. The profile continues its lumpy traverse towards Larvik, where the riders must tackle a steep 1.4km rise to the finish, which is sure to favour a punchier rider. 

Stage four: Herning - Herning (ITT), 16.4 km

tour de scandinavia 2023 route

Stage four presents the first time a time trial has been included in this race. With the addition of a time trial stage at the Tour de France Femmes and other stage races following suit, the prayers of the time trialists of the bunch have been answered this season, and GC riders have had to spend more time on their time trial bikes. The 16.4km route around the town of Herning is a course for the time trial purists with very little in the way of climbing. The only challenge is the technical corners around the town centre. The GC riders will have to ensure they do not lose time on their rivals. 

Stage 5: Middelfart - Haderslev, 143.9km

tour de scandinavia 2023 route

The fifth and final stage is the second-longest of the race and one of the flattest. Starting in the picturesque coastal town of Middelfart, the peloton heads along the primarily flat roads of central Denmark via the Lillebælt bridge on their way to Haderslev, where they will complete three laps of a 7.5 km finishing circuit. 

Contenders 

Last year’s winner, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, will be looking to defend her Tour of Scandinavia overall title. The FDJ-SUEZ rider has had a quieter season by her high standards but showed her current form at the World Championships, where she rode to third place behind the formidable SD Worx duo of Lotte Kopecky and Demi Vollering. While the Norefjell climb was where the Danish rider made her winning move in 2022, she is a rider who also thrives on punchy climbs and will be looking for time on those stages. The time trial, however, might be the 27-year-old’s biggest hurdle in the quest to defend her overall win.

tour de scandinavia 2023 route

One rider who will be looking forward to the time trial is Annemiek van Vleuten. In one of her final races as a pro, the former winner of the Tour of Norway will be looking to make use of the form she claimed she was unable to unleash due to multiple mechanicals at the World Championships road race. Van Vleuten hasn’t shown her usual dominance in 2023, not even making the GC podium at the Tour de France Femmes, but she will want to claim as many victories to add to her tally of over 100 before her career is out. As a rider who prefers a long climb to split the race up, the Norefjell climb is her best chance at gaining time on her GC rivals and as the Olympic time trial champion, stage four won’t phase her either. Van Vleuten is also surrounded by a strong Movistar team with Danish rider Emma Norsgaard – winner of stage six of the Tour de France Femmes – who can challenge in sprints or from a break, and another Tour stage winner in Liane Lippert for whom the punchy stages are well suited.

SD Worx has yet to release their lineup for the race, but if Tour de France Femmes winner Demi Vollering takes to the start line, she will be the favourite to win. However, after a tough programme consisting of the Tour and World Championships, Vollering appears to be enjoying some downtime racing criteriums in the Netherlands alongside newly-crowned world champion Lotte Kopecky and European champion Lorena Wiebes. Marlen Reusser is also unlikely to race after the statement she made at the World Championships around her exhaustion from being overworked this season. SD Worx will likely take some of their younger – but no less talented – riders to this race, such as Blanka Vas, Niamh Fisher Black and Anna Shackley. The latter two are strong climbers who may find themselves in contention on Norefjell, while Vas has proven her sprinting prowess at both the Tour de Suisse Women and the World Championships road race, where she took the U23 title from a sprint.

tour de scandinavia 2023 route

Elsewhere, Lidl-Trek has a GC hopeful in the form of Amanda Spratt, with the backing of her compatriot Brodie Chapman returning to racing after a fraught season. Jayco Alula brings a strong climbing pair with Ane Santesteban and Urška Žigart and a sprint hopeful in the form of Ruby Roseman-Gannon. If Jumbo-Visma brings former Tour of Norway winner Marianne Vos, she will be a favourite for the punchier stages. And Fenix-Deceuninck, who have had their best season to date, have the surprise of Christina Schweinberger in their midsts should they choose to take her.

Annemiek van Vleuten will be on the hunt for one of the final GC victories of her career, especially without having taken the Tour de France Femmes title around which she focused her season. With a strong Movistar squad around her and a course that suits her strengths, it’s hard to look past Van Vleuten for the overall win. That is unless SD Worx brings along Demi Vollering or Marlen Reusser.
