In the first half of the race the great protagonist was Iivo Niskanen who, aware of the excellent alternating qualities, decided to keep the pace high right from the start. The Finn's pass, winner of the 15 km classic Ruka, skimmed the leading group, to which 9 athletes remained hooked. The Norwegian stop KlÃ¦bo, Iversen, Holund and Krueger, the Russians Ustiugov, Bolshunov and Spitsov and the surprising Swede Burman passed through the pit stop for the ski change on the tails of Niskanen. Hans Christer Holund was the first to move on to freeing his horses. The Norwegian led a bullying and prolonged action, to which only compatriot Iversen and Alexander Bolshunov were able to respond. Under the impulse of the world champion of Seefeld 2019 in the 50 km, the leading trio gained over half a minute on the pursuer group, led by KlÃ¦bo. After a brief tactical study phase, the struggle for success ended in the final round. On the most challenging climb of the Holund track he launched a new attack, putting his compatriot Iversen at the end, 3rd at the end, but not Bolshunov. For his part, the Russian, who always stayed in the wake of the Scandinavian, accelerated on the final roughness, taking a few meters away from Holund and flying towards victory. Updating.
