Cykelvasan 90 was held on Saturday morning for the eighth year in a row, running between Sälen and Mora with 13,000 registered participants. In total, over the whole weekend, Cykelvasan’s various races attracted 22,000 registered participants. A news record!

New for this year was the women’s elite starting at 07:30, 45 minutes before the men, allowing them to compete without butting heads with male cyclists. This was appreciated by 41-year-old Jennie Stenerhag who repeated her win from last year and took her third Cykelvasan victory. This year, the battle for the win was with 18-year-old junior world champion, and Jennie’s club mate, Ida Jansson.
“When we crossed the Aukland bridge I turned and saw that I had a gap. I thought now I just have to give my all. It felt great to enter the home stretch alone. Fantastic!” said Stenerhag after her victory,” she quoted.

Young winner in men’s race

The men’s competition was dominated by a group of five cylists who kept a record pace almost throughout the whole race. In the end 20-year-old talent and road cyclist, Lucas Eriksson, came out sharpest and won, just ahead of Matthias Wengelin, Almby IK/Team Bergslagen, and last year’s winner Alexander Wetterhall, Team Tre Berg – Bianchi. 

“I didn’t believe I would win. I didn’t believe it after the finish line either. But it was fun,” says the young victor.

The registration for Cykelvasan 2017 opens on Sunday September 18, 2016, at 09:00 on vasaloppet.se.
