On Tuesday evening, Team Ramudden presented its line-up for next winter’s Ski Classics Season XVI, and there will be some changes for the Swedish Pro Team on the leadership side.

Pro Team Director Lina Korsgren became a mother just a few days ago, so Gustaf Korsgren will take over as team manager for the coming season.

Gustaf has previously had the Pro Team Director role but has, in recent seasons, been the waxing manager. Now Gustaf is stepping out of the “waxing cabin” and will be replaced in that position by Luca Angelini, former wax tech for Team Eksjöhus.

During the Pro Team presentation, Team Ramudden introduced a few new Pro Team athletes, such as Thomas Joly, Julie Kvale Støstad, and Anton Persson.

Last winter, Team Ramudden took second place in the Ski Classics Pro Team competition and has now announced that the French skier Thomas Joly is joining their ranks.

For Season XV, Thomas Joly was recruited by Team Naeringsbanken Stora Enso after a few seasons with the French squad Team Nordic Expérience. He had a solid summer with the Norwegian Pro Team, winning Alliansloppet and finishing 2nd at Blink Festival and Toppidrettsveka. Last winter, his best result was 12th place in the 3 Zinnen Ski Marathon.

Team Ramudden also secured Norwegian super talent for the upcoming Ski Classics Season XVI.

Julie Kvale Støstad, the 25-year-old Norwegian, went directly from almost ten years as an elite professional soccer player to the top 10 overall in Ski Classics and third place in the battle for the Youth bib in her first winter of long-distance skiing last season.

Last season, he was part of the Swedish National Team. Now, he is taking the step to Ski Classics and Team Ramudden: “I need to get better at all aspects of long-distance skiing,” says Anton Persson.
