Tour of Scandinavia 2022: Routes, Schedule, Livestream and Teams

Women’s road race is back with the inaugural event of the Scandinavian Tour about to begin on the 9th of August. Here is all you need to know about the Tour Of Scandinavia 2022.

Originally named as the Battle of the North, The Tour of Scandinavia has replaced the Ladies Tour of Norway. This race will consist of six stages starting from Copenhagen, Denmark. After the end of almost a week-long intense racing, it will finish in Halden, Norway on the 14th of August.

Defending Champion: Annemiek van Vleuten

Many big names of the women’s peloton have signed up for the 2022 Tour Of Scandinavia, aiming to win the first-ever Scandinavia crown. However, Annemiek van Vleuten, the winner of both the Ro d’Italia Donne and Tour de France Femmes, has withdrawn from the race. 

With van Vleuten not in the mix, Demi Vollering is the rider with the most eyes on. Vollering, part of Team SD Worx, has placed second in the recently finished Tour de France. Thanks to her stellar form, the 25-year-old Dutch Cyclist has arrived in Copenhagen as the hot favorite.

Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig is another cyclist coming into the Tour of Scandinavia as a potential winner to take the inaugural Scandinavian title. Ludwig’s win in the third stage of Femmes will boost her confidence to win in the Scandinavia Tour.

The Spanish team, Movie-star, has brought Sarah Gigante in the place of their biggest star, Annemiek van Vleuten. Gigante has built her reputation as a splendid climber. Her expertise in climbing will make a huge impact if she manages to get past the sprint stages with success.
