Powerful Scandinavian team for Rás

TEAM Bianchi Nordid, one of the most powerful cycling teams in Scandinavia, will contest next month’s FBD Milk Rás.

The team’s Directeur Sportif, Tommy Prim, a former professional who finished second in the Giro D’Italia twice yesterday confirmed that 24-year-old Tobias Lergard who lost out to the more experienced Briton, Chris Newton, by a mere five seconds last year, is again set to race.

The team includes fellow Swedes Jonas Holmkvist and Petter Renang, Kimmo Kananen from Finland and Glenn Bak from Denmark.
