The long distance ski team Team Coop becomes Team Coop-Exspirit as Exspirit is joining the team as title partner together with Coop.

– Our team was branded Team Exspirit between 2010-2012 and it is great to have them back on the team, says Oskar Svärd, Team Director Team Coop.

Team Coop can look back at a stronger season than last year. They won the Swix Ski Classics pro team tempo prologue and finished third in the over all team competition.

Morten Eide Pedersen won Jizerska Padesatka and placed 5th in the over all. Bill Impola placed third in the youth competition and almost won La Diagonela but took a unfortunate wrong turn.

Seraina Boner placed second in the over all and won La Sgambeda and the Swix Ski Classics Final Årefjällsloppet.

Ivo Niskanen placed 4th at Birkebeinerrennet. Jimmie Johnsson place 10th at König Ludwig Lauf and Oskar Svärd placed 12th at Marcialonga.

Annika Löfström place 6th at Jizerska Padesatka and Emma Wikén placed 7th at Årefjällsloppet and 3rd in the youth competition.

Hilde Losgaard Landheim placed 4th in the youth competition and Emilie Kristofferesen 8th at Birkebeinerrennet.

All men placed top 20 in the over all standing.

– The Swix Ski Classics is getting stronger and stronger for each year and with 9 podium places and 18 top 10 places we are moving in the right direction. We also have more exciting news to present in the near future, says Oskar Svärd.
