Thanks to yesterday's victory in the 25km free technique tomorrow Northug partir & agrave; with 7,12 and 17 seconds of advantage in the standings respectively Halfvarsson, Sundby and Belov, and will have & agrave; give my best tomorrow in the 15km mass start classic technique to gain bonus seconds as well as the intermediate sprints to the finish line.
The Norwegian is studying a plan d & rsquo; attack, believing in fact that sometimes is & ldquo; Better to focus on the penultimate sprint to the finish. In any case the first sprint and I Martin (Sundby, nda), we will control Belov and Calle (Halfvarsson, nda) and at the same time be in a good position to attack. I do not think that will be bonus seconds to force cos & Igrave; crucial, l & rsquo; important sar & agrave; Do not miss the other three seconds and store energy for Sunday & rdquo ;.
This & egrave; l & rsquo; Northug yet another opportunity to win his first Tour de Ski, after the second places of 2009,2010 and 2011 and third in 2012. & ldquo; Sar & agrave; tough win, much will depend & agrave; the race tomorrow, but I hope to have a good feeling at the start on Sunday. There have been years where I felt more encouraged, as when I was beaten by Lukas Bauer in 2010. We have two Norwegians on four contenders, I hope one of us conquer the final victory. Much will depend & agrave; Also the temperatures here in Val di Fiemme, I'm curious to see how influir & agrave; Race & rdquo ;.
But while cradle dreams of glory, brings him back to earth the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, or a sentence of 50 days in prison that has yet to be served. Several MPs Norwegians are spending personally to postpone the punishment in May, after the end of the season, on the grounds not need the & agrave; to punish him further on the work of one person, that gi & agrave; dovr & agrave; serving a criminal sentence, so as not to be a significant double punishment. Laconic Northug trying to skirt the issue on & rsquo; topic & ldquo; I know nothing. My sources tell me that when sar & ograve; present at the World Falun & rdquo ;.
