The 2023 Tour of Scandinavia was the second edition of the stage race that grew out of the Ladies Tour of Norway to also include Denmark and (in 2022) Sweden. At the race, Cyclingnews spoke exclusively to Roy Moberg, general director of the race, Morten Anderson, president of the DCU, the Danish cycling union, and the race's overall winner Annemiek van Vleuten about the expansion from an event in the southeastern corner of Norway to one that spans several countries, the logistics this expansion entails, and the possibilities for future growth.

A race that leapfrogs two nations has its challenges, not the least of which was the mid-event shift of all the riders, staff and equipment hundreds of kilometres over land and water.
