The second edition of Fiemme Rollerski Cup will see many champions take part in the races on 15th and 16th September in Ziano di Fiemme (ITA). This will be the final stage of the Rollerski World Cup and will make it possible to draw up the final rankings of the Guide World Classic Tour.

The race will also present an attractive format for all amateurs who on Sunday will have the possibility to participate either in the long distance race of 50 km or in the short distance race of 20 km. Fiemme Rollerski Cup is also the final stage of the Mini Tour Rollerski Trentino 2018.

There are already many champions who entered the race, first of all Tord Asle Gjerdalen, the winner of many editions of Marcialonga of Fiemme and Fassa, the legendary Polish Justyna Kowalczyk, 2-tiome World and Olympic gold medallist and winner of the last edition of Fiemme Rollerski Cup - she perhaps knows best how to climb Alpe Cermis (4 overall victories) even without cross-country skis - then Morten Eide Pedersen, Anders Aukland and athletes from Fiemme, Giacomo Gabrielli, athlete of the Italian cross-country team, Mauro Brigadoi, for years one of the best Italian cross-country skiers of Visma Ski Classics, and Francesco Ferrari of the Team Trentino Robinson, who has won the relay race at the Coop Marcialonga Running last Sunday. Then there will be also Kari Gjeitnes, protagonist of the Guide World Classic Tour, the Swedish Maria Graefnings and the other star of Visma Ski Classics Andreas Nygaard.

Other Italian athletes will compete for the World Cup, among others Anna and Lisa Bolzan, Emanuele and Francesco Becchis, Alba Mortagna, Jacopo Giardina and the Alessio Berlanda from Trentino.

A discipline that among the Italian athletes seems to be "a family thing", with the Becchis to field the good sprinters Emanuele and Francesco with their sister Chiara (junior), and the twins Bolzan who are ready to give some trouble to anyone, but who are threatened by the good Alba Mortagna with her sister Laura. Alessio Berlanda will be supported by his home fans since he comes from Trentino. He was one of the protagonists in last year’s edition, having many experience and physical strength. Obviously, his father Silvano will not be competing with him, but he will join the "expedition" of the Fiemme Rollerski Cup taking part in the amateurs’ race. The event is primarily organised for them.
