For the 8th time the team raced this diificult roadrace in Vårgårda. During the 3 first local laps nothing much happened, but Lotte had become sick and stopped early. Also Thea had a bad day and stopped right after the long lap. Out on the long lap and the gravel sections, a group of 11 riders went away, Simona was in a chase group of 3 but had to give up. Luckily some teams that missed the break, FDJ especially, with help of Bigla, reeled in the break after approx 80 km. A group of 40 riders formed on the last local laps, where we had Susanne and Nina. Nina worked for Susanne in the final, Susanne was in a good position on the last corner but lost some places there and came 12th. This was her first individual WWT points. Lotta Lepistø (Bigla), won the race.

Starting with the ITT, Lotte finished 11 and Thea 26 in the 32 km long course. Elen Van Dijk of Netherlands won quite clearly. In the W U23 race, Susanne Andersen won the bunch sprint for second after a solo winner Pernille Mathiesen of Denmark. Ingvild did a good job buut punctured close to the final. The WE road race was a thriller with Charlotte making the winning break with Vos, Pawlowska, Zabelinskaya, Longo Borghini and Bronzini. Tragic for Lotte, Pawlowska crashed just a few km from finish, disturbing Lotte enough to drop from the group. Emilie finished 15th in the sprint for 6th place, after good domestic work from Thea, also Simona did a great domestic job for Italy during the race.

We had a victory from 2016 to defend, but nothing went to plan this day. On the third lap, Susanne punctured and could not return despite efforts from Tone to bring her back to the bunch. To make it worse, our captain for the day, Nina, punctured on the last lap. So no result for us, Coryn Rivera (Team Sunweb) won.

The team took on their second stage race this summer on the border of Belgium and Nederland.  Therace started with a 1.9 km prolog, where Susanne was our best with 11th. On the first stage, 2 riders awat, we did a leadout for Nina for the 3d place, but went a little to early and no result. To make it worse, Vita crashed and was taken to hospital with a broken finger. The next day started with a short road race, stage 2A.  Again 2 riders escaped late, Tone and Ingvild worked hard to keep it back but, couldnt, Nina was 3d in the peloton sprint and 5th overall. Cecilei was having a bad day and decided to not start the ITT on stage 2B. Marianne Vos was best on the day, again Susanne sis a good TT and was our best with 11th. On the last stage, Nina went in a long breakaway with Trevisi (Cipollini team), tha thad at the most 1:05. They where catched with 10km to go, and today it sticked together for a bunch sprint. Susanne did a great sprint and finished 3d, behind overall winner Marianne Vos and vd Ree (Lares Waovdeals). In the GC Susanne finished 9 and Nina 18. It was a encouraging stage race, Susanne delivered again, Nina was strong, Ingvild in progress. The only really bad thing was Vitas little finger, which was broken.

As the longest race on the calendar, it was not a great succes for us in the GC. Our captain Katrine had to stop on the 9th stage wih a heatstroke. Furthermore Miriam crashed out of the 7th stage with a bad shoulder, but not broken. The positive from the race was Emilies 3 x top 10 placements. Anna vd Breggen (Boels) won the race.
