NCF Criticizes Vegvesen Over Styrkeprøven Rejection

Norges Cykleforbund has sent a formal letter to Statens vegvesen, sharply criticizing the rejection of Styrkeprøven 2026 based on what they call a weak and professionally inadequate report.

Norges Cykleforbund (NCF) has formally protested the rejection of Styrkeprøven 2026, arguing that the decision is based on a report they consider "Prinsippvurdering lange turritt" to be professionally weak and poorly anchored in cycling practices. According to NCF president Heidi Stenbock-Haakestad, the report shows low competence about cycling and modern cycling events. sweetbonanza-app.com

The cycling federation expresses concern that using general principles from what they consider a weak report could set a precedent leading to more event rejections in the future, with consequences extending far beyond Styrkeprøven.
