Klæbo now stands with four victories on four stages in this year’s Tour de Ski. With that, he is naturally also well on his way to taking his third overall victory. He won ahead of Sindre Bjørnestad Skar and Italian Federico Pellegrino. Thus it was the sprinters’ day in the 20-kilometre joint start, which developed in a way that amazed news’s experts. It was expected that Klæbo and Simen Hegstad Krüger would start working together early on, and that they would eventually get the help of a handful of other Norwegians and Swedish Calle Halfvarsson to get up to speed. Instead, no one sped up, and after half the race, 28 runners had gathered within ten seconds. Thus, the start of the hunt was suddenly transformed into a joint start. THIS IS HOW HE BECAME HISTORIC: Here Johannes Høsflot Klæbo takes his 15th stage win in the Tour de Ski. – Changes the rules of the game a lot – This changes the rules of the game a lot. That they have let so many people into the game is very surprising, news’s expert commentator Torgeir Bjørn stated during the course. – This is a horror scenario, because you gather everyone in a cluster, and that changes the framework conditions for the combined list. But there will be more excitement throughout the tour, then, said expert colleague Fredrik Aukland. In summary, Klæbo thus lost time to almost all the competitors, but according to news’s expert, the race development is primarily negative for Norwegian capacity runners such as Simen Hegstad Krüger, Hans Christer Holund and Didrik Tønseth. They cannot count on many bonus seconds when the tour continues with a sprint in Val di Fiemme on Friday. Because it was the sprinters’ day at the distance race in Oberstdorf. Behind Klæbo, Skar and Pellegrino, followed Calle Halfvarsson, Sjur Røthe, Pål Golberg, William Poromaa, Simen Hegstad Krüger, Didrik Tønseth and Emil Iversen. Krüger: – Not quite as I had hoped Overall, Klæbo leads 12 seconds ahead of Pellegrino, 14 ahead of Golberg and 32 ahead of Skar and Krüger. – Klæbo can be satisfied regardless, but there were some who did not take advantage of the opportunity today, states Torgeir Bjørn. – It wasn’t quite as I had hoped, no. I was a little tired today, and then I notice that I don’t have what it takes to go to the front alone. Then suddenly all the skiers are up there, and then it’s a completely different ski race, notes a slightly disappointed Simen Hegstad Krüger to news.
