Today's result is very significant because Golberg, despite having already shown considerable progress in Kuusamo, results in hand was to be considered a sprinter pure. Contrary to expectations instead claimed his first career victory in a race distance, a sign that the Norwegian is now for all purposes complete a long-distance runner, at least in the classical technique. Golberg builds this result since the first half of the race, recording the best intermediate to 5.8 miles and staying in the lead up to the finish line. Second place went to a newfound Alexey Poltoranin, too bad to be true that in Kuusamo, and now author of a sumptuous second part of the race allowing him to go back to the place of honor trailing by 14 "by 4 Golberg. The podium is completed by another surprise, the Norwegian Didrik TÃ¸nseth, 22 year old guy who had already shown last year in La Clusaz, when he came fourth in the 15 km mass start line. Today TÃ¸nseth to get the first podium of his career in front of the home crowd. If the podium is composed of two-thirds of surprises in the top ten we find several of the athletes expected on the eve Swedes Marcus Hellner and Johan Olsson are fourth and fifth respectively, Alexander Legkov is sixth, seventh Martin Johnsrud Sundby - result which allows it to maintain its leadership position in the overall standings of the World Cup - Chris Andre Jespersen eighth, Petter Northug in a continuous progress ninth and tenth Daniel Richardsson. Total debacle instead of the three that have been on the podium in the race alternating Kuusamo: Lukas Bauer nineteenth, thirty-Eldar RÃ¸nning, Dmitry Japarov fourteenth. So, so Italians, however, that improves the embarrassing evidence of Kuusamo: Dietmar Noeckler get the best result of the season - including women - reaching twenty-second, center the area also points Mattia Pellegrin twenty-ninth and thirtieth Roland Clara, Giorgio Di Centa is , forty, Fabio Pasini sixtieth and sixty-David Hofer.
