The snow comes after the Grisons sun, on the Tour de Ski that has landed today in Oberstdorf and materials that become an important factor in a stage that can say a lot waiting for the finish line in the Val di Fiemme.
In the women's field are the Americans and the Swedes to pay the highest tribute to the preparation of the ski with the leader of the Tour, Jessica Diggins, in difficulty since the first meters of the 10 km in classical technique as well as Stina Nilsson who last night decided to continue his journey again for a couple of stages. There are eight of us who immediately dictate the rhythm and selection: the Norwegians Oestberg, Jacobsen and Weng, the Russian Nepryaeva, Sedova and Belorukova, the Finnish Krista Parmakoski and the Austrian Stadlober. The delays are broken on the climb to the seventh kilometer from the winner of the last two editions, Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg and only the Russian Natalia Nepryaeva and Anastasia Sedova manage to keep pace. At 8.3 km distance Parmakoski and Jacobsen are about ten seconds while Stadlober, Belorukova and Heidi Weng field all their physical resources to remain attached. On the last climb Nepryaeva goes to the attack counting on skis that are significantly better than those of Oestberg that is forced to exit the tracks but at the entrance of the stadium the Norwegian recovers it and jumps on the final straight forcing itself to a tenth, third place to 5.3 for Sedova. Jacobsen is fourth at 12.9 and precedes Parmakoski and Belorukova by 3 seconds. Teresa Stadlober is seventh at 20.6 while Heidi Weng is eighth at 23.6. The group of chasers is regulated, at 56.5, by the German promise Katharina Hennig that precedes Stina Nilsson and Jessica Diggins who honors her pectoral leader.
The Italian team Caterina Ganz and Sara Pellegrini have a good first half of the race, doubling the 5 km to a distance of thirty seconds from the leaders to give in the final with Sara Pellegrini, the thirtieth at 2.06.7 and Caterina Ganz thirty-ninth at 2.41.9.
In the general classification of the Tour de Ski, Ingvild Oestberg, which today also collected 30 seconds of rebate with the victory and the lead over the 5.7 km, leaps to the lead with 24.1 lead over Natalia Nepryaeva (10 + 10 rebate) and 1'10 "on Yulia Belorukova (6 + 0) Fourth place for Jessica Diggins (1 + 0) to 1.26.3, fifth Krista Parmakoski (12 + 0) to 1.29.7, sixth Anastasia Sedova (5 + 5) at 1.47.2.

In the men's race on the 15 km, there is nothing to tell for more than 13 kilometers if not the two flights for the rebates won by Roethe and Toenseth and a snowfall that in the second part of the race becomes increasingly dense, making the environmental conditions prohibitive. It is a very tactical compact ranks race that is resolved on the last race, the longest of the German circuit that ends at 600 meters from the finish line. The Russian Sergey Ustiugov, sornionamente in the positions of tail for long stretches, takes the command of the operations followed by Francesco De Fabiani, Emil Iversen and Roethe. Emil Iversen skips all and comes first on the finish line with an excellent Francesco De Fabiani second, third place for Sergey Ustiugov and fourth position for Sjur Roethe. Calle Halfvarsson is fifth, sixth Toenseth, seventh Belov, eighth Larkov, ninth Klaebo.
