The thirty-six Czech exploits wonder the train Eldar Rønning during his first round: Bauer crosses the Norwegian fact engaged in their second half of the race, the advantage of the trail in the first five kilometers and then keep in the final handful of second advantage gained, winning the seventh win in stages of multistage events and nineteenth in total in his career. Bauer did not climb to the top step of the podium in a race to the first level from January 9, 2011, when he obtained the best time to climb in the Tour de Ski Cermis.
Second place went to Rønning, who was ready to celebrate when Dmitry Japarov, clearly the best until the last third of the race, he finished behind. Japarov, best home Russia, it is confirmed, however, in good shape after the success of seven days ago in the FIS race of Inari. Among the top ten, with the exception of German Tim Tscharnke tenth, we find only other Norwegians and Russians fourth Paal Golberg, significantly improved in distance races that he is a great sprinter, Martin Johnsrud Sundby is fifth, sixth Alexander Bessmertnykh , Chris Andre Jespersen seventh, eighth and tenth Maxim Vylegzhanin Alexander Legkov.
Far behind Petter Northug and Alexey Poltoranin. If the holder of the World Cup is lagging behind due to the form of the virus that has weakened over the summer, to the Kazakhstan it is a counter-worrying, as he was the number one favorite in this race. Eventually the two closing sixteenth and eighteenth respectively.
In the overall standings of the Ruka Triple in command there Rønning which has a margin of three-tenths of Japarov, third Golberg. The gaps are, however, extremely tight to tomorrow and we will see a pursuit open to any prediction.
Better to fly as far as the Italian colors. If among women for years that the blue can not aspire to anything important, see among men Giorgio Di Centa as the thirty-fifth best leaves quite perplexed. So others: Dietmar Noeckler forty, fifty-fifth Roland Clara, Fabio Pasini sixtieth, Valerio Checchi seventy, seventy-ninth David Hofer, Federico Pellegrino eighty, eighty-Luca Orlandi.
