Anders Aukland Might Not Race The 2005 Vasaloppet
FasterSkier · October 13, 2004
– I’m leaving on Tuesday. The non-sprinters like me, that are not racing the sprint World Cup opener in Düsseldorf are not coming home before October 29, so it will regardless be a long altitude camp.
Aukland's focus is clear:
– I want to fight for podiums in classic. I will for that reason drop a few skate races this season, at least in the period toward Worlds.
