<\/a><\/p>\nThe criterium is a fan spectacle with times not counting as part of the rest of the stage race. The UCI sanctioned racing gets underway on Saturday with stage one over 114,6 kilometres. The race concludes with stage two on Sunday raced over 115,6 kilometres.<\/p>\n
The race sees a return for Doris Schweizer who crashed out of the Giro Rosa with a concussion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited to race again,\u201d Schweizer said. \u201cI am fully recovered from the crash at the Giro and ready to race. I haven\u2019t done Norway or Sweden so they\u2019re new races for me. I am happy to be with the team now and we\u2019ll see how it goes. Everything is a bit different now going to Scandinavia this part of the season. For me, the world\u2019s TT is important so it\u2019s better to go this route and it\u2019s a good thing to just have a new experience and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
The same team to race Norway will form part of the squad that will head to Sweden for World Cup action in Crescent Women World Cup Vargarda TTT and Crescent Women World Cup Vargarda road race.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve done some TTT training and next week we\u2019ll have some more time again. I\u2019ve looked at the profiles in Norway and it looks a little up and down. I haven\u2019t been there so it\u2019s hard to say what it will be like but we have a sprinter in Lotta [Lepist\u00f6] and have other options too,\u201d Schweizer concluded.<\/p>\n
