Madshus racer Geir Ludvig Aasen Ouren (NOR) joins the new Team NPRO, consisting of four elite marathon ski racers aiming to challenge the established marathon teams for the FIS Ski Classics events.
The four racers have aspirations for both podium finishes and overall titles in the FIS ski marathons this season, including the largest and longest events such as Marcialonga (ITA), Vasaloppet (SWE) and BIrkebeinerrennet (NOR).
