Now on the eve of the races of Beitostølen, Petter Northug has solved a question that has accompanied him for months: after almost three years with Fischer, will return to the Alpina boots.

"The issue is very simple: I did the test, and I found that I get the best performance with Fischer skis and boots Alpina," said Norwegian champions to Adresseavisen.
Northug has adopted the same solution for years, before signing an agreement with the Austrian company at the end of 2013. "When then made that change," added the athlete, "the best combination was Fischer-Fischer. Now I think it's new Fischer-Alpina. I was without a contract last season on purpose to be free to carry out the tests. I decided based on my feelings. "
The choice was obviously well received by Stian Tromborg satisfaction, responsible for the Slovenian, who proudly claimed the policy of "focus on delivering the best boots on the market", while the competition "was thought to expand."
Northug can verify that the correct choice as early as tomorrow, when he takes part in the TC 15 km of Beitostølen. The 13-time world champion could instead desert the 15 km skating on Saturday, returning to the track on Sunday for the sprint.
