Cykelvasan 90 broadcast live in four countries in 2024

On Saturday, August 10, the 16th edition of Cykelvasan 90 will take place. Sveriges Television will broadcast the race live from start to finish, just like the winter Vasaloppet – and this year, Cykelvasan 90, the largest mountain bike race in the Nordics, will also be broadcast in Norway, Denmark, and Finland. National MTB teams from these three countries will be present to compete for victory, honour, and prize money in both the women's and men's classes.

Sveriges Television has been broadcasting Cykelvasan 90 live since 2022, and the broadcast agreement extends until 2028. The broadcast on August 10 will start at 07:25, with the women's start at 07:30 and the men's start at 08:15. The broadcast will continue until approximately 11:30.

In Norway, Cykelvasan will be broadcast live by Amedia, and in Denmark, it will be broadcast by the sports channel Sport Live once again.
"We already cover the Danish Shimano MTB League on Sport Live, so for us it's natural to also be involved when the Danish cyclists compete against the national teams from Sweden, Norway and Finland. Last year, we broadcast Cykelvasan 90 for the first time on Danish television, and we are very much looking forward to showing the race again this year," says Flemming Kjellerup, CEO of Sport Live.

New this year, Cykelvasan will also be broadcast in Finland. It will be shown on MTV Katsomo+Live and possibly also on MTV Urheilu.
"We are delighted that Cykelvasan will be broadcast live not only in Sweden but also in Finland, Norway, and Denmark. This is an important step in further establishing the race, which is the largest MTB race in the Nordics, with an international audience. We hope it will inspire more people to participate in Cykelvasan and our other races. We look forward to crowning the winners of Cykelvasan live and continuing to promote cycling, running, and skiing for current and future generations. Vasaloppet is a fantastic tradition that attracts participants from all over the world, and it's exciting to see the events reaching a wider audience," says Erika Christensson, marketing manager at Vasaloppet.

The total prize money for Cykelvasan 90 this year is 288,000 SEK. The winners will receive a wreath and 40,000 SEK, and the top ten women and men will all be rewarded. Additionally, sprint prizes (3,000 SEK) will be awarded to the first woman and man to cycle past the classic Vasaloppet checkpoints in Smågan, Mångsbodarna, Risberg, Oxberg, Hökberg, and Eldris. Mountain prizes (5,000 SEK) will be awarded to the first woman and man to reach the checkpoint in Evertsberg.

Last year’s winners, Amanda Bohlin from Sweden and Kristian Klevgård from Norway, are both registered.

Cykelvasan 90 will also be broadcast live on Vasaloppet's own streaming service, Vasaloppet.TV.

Ahead of Cykelvasan 90 2024

Ahead of Cykelvasan 90 2024

From August 5–11, the Vasaloppet Bike Festival will take place in Sälen, culminating in Cykelvasan 90 2024 from Sälen to Mora on Saturday, August 10. Sweden’s national broadcaster, SVT, will live broadcast this prestigious event, which caters to both elite and recreational cyclists, on SVT1 from 07:20 to 11:30. The race will also be broadcast live in Denmark, Finland, and Norway.

Vasaloppet är världens största arrangör av motionslopp, året runt.

Vasaloppet startade 1922, men är mycket äldre än så. Det första Vasaloppet genomfördes redan 1521 av Gustav Eriksson. Under sin flykt undan den danske kungen blev han upphunnen i Sälen och återvände till Mora för att leda upproret mot ockupationsmakten. Gustav Eriksson enade så småningom riket och blev Sveriges första kung, mer känd under namnet Gustav Vasa. Sälen är med andra ord inte enbart startplats för ett av världens största motionslopp, utan också startpunkten för hela vårt lands historia. Det första loppet lockade 119 skidåkare till start. I dag kommer uppåt 100 000 deltagare från över 60 länder till vår bygd för att åka skidor, springa eller cykla mellan Sälen och Mora. Vasaloppet må ha växt, men syftet är det samma: Att med utgångspunkt från den klassiska sträckan genomföra idrottsarrangemang som skapar resurser och möjligheter för ägarföreningarna samt alla funktionärsföreningar. Med ideella krafter för vi en svensk tradition vidare.

Vasaloppet är en ideell verksamhet som ägs av IFK Mora och Sälens IF. En motor för folkhälsa och föreningsliv.
