Mistake of Iversen
despite the victory, will today’s race be remembered for something completely different by many.
The Russian moose Ustjugov and Iversen jerked up towards the point they thought gave bonussekunder in today’s stage.
It had for as far as absolutely right in the point gave, but it was the first on the next round!
A kjempetabbe who tapped the for unnecessary powers.
Whether it was a blister, or as it was an agreed-upon hurtighetsdrag with Ustjugov. So can you imagine yourself what it was.

Games here Klæbos dilemma

Behind the wonder Sergey Ustjugov. It makes Klæbo, which still has not confirmed that he continues the tour, get a difficult dilemma in the morning.
Should he drop to the Russian or try to maintain the lead? Ustjugov has previously been shown that a runner who pick tremendously with the seconds in a short time, before he needs a little time to collect himself again. To have the Russian behind him in the field is no easy task.
no later today was Ustjugov almost 20 seconds behind 1.-square at the most, before he ate seconds of record time and was in the tetkampen on the run.
Klæbo went tactically wise in the day. He took the lead from the start, and was far ahead in the field throughout the stage.
But on tomorrow’s leg goes he out alone. It will be exciting to see how he tackles the task.
– It feels okay. I wasn’t really spike today, but I got with me several bonussekunder than Ustjugov. It’s going to be tough, so I have to think through what is the most important for me. Most likely so I will start out tomorrow, ” says Klæbo after today’s race.
He continues:
– If I ask to start, I have the ambition to go as quickly as possible. But Ustjugov is in good shape, and he’s going to go fast in the morning also.

my Plan has been to go the first few days, and then take it day by day. I’ll take a new review tonight regarding tomorrow. If I travel to Val di Fiemme goes I enough both the stages, ” says Klæbo.

Last year I went most verdenscuprenn of all norwegians, but no one knows that I was in Pyeongchang a time, ” says Iversen and grinning of their OLYMPIC result.
– So it is on the basis of what I have taken the decision, my
