As expected, the 15 km classic technique in tracking who finished the season sees Sundby reach immediately Northug, with whom he goes hunting Ustiugov hare, party in the lead with more & ugrave; 30 seconds on Norwegian. The dominator of the season takes just pi & ugrave; When returning a ride on the tails of the Russian and, after a few kilometers of study, leaving him on the spot, he flies away towards a triumph that d & agrave; l & rsquo; yet another demonstration of the size of this guy.
After the Sprint QUEB & eacute; c City Sundby fact was fifth in the overall standings of the Ski Tours Canada 2 & rsquo; 13 & rdquo; from the summit, so much so that many thought that finally would leave room for some opponent. Exploiting the format to him more & ugrave; congenial in five stages, however, the 31 year old Oslo has gradually closed the gap, zeroing about 10 km from the finish of today and taking home the & rsquo; yet another gem of a season full of records.
First of all Sundby is imposed in the trial multistage first level number 8 consecutive, we memorize options It means that & egrave; across these formats for three years. Of course, this being the first edition of the Canadian Tour, the Norwegian became the first man to impose himself at least once in all competitions ever played multistage (Nordic Opening / Ruka Triple, Tour de Ski, Finals, Ski Tours Canada).
With that today's Sundby also get to share 14 wins all inclusive season, smashed the previous record of 10 belonging to Petter Northug and dating back to 2012-13. Absolute & egrave; He arrived in 26 career victories, pulling Dario Cologna stopped at 25 and becoming cos & igrave; the fifth pi & ugrave distance runner; winner ever.
Is not serious; over: Sundby wins the third consecutive World Cup, successful company in the past only to Gunde Svan and Bj ø rn D & aelig; hlie, with 2634 points and 1032 ahead, the first is the record for the men's cross-country skiing, the second & egrave; time record for any event FIS men having this attribution of the points system.
Celebrated worthily the dominator of the season, we see cos & rsquo; & egrave; success behind him. Second place went to Sergey Ustiugov, who must surrender to Sundby but & egrave; good at progressively disconnect Northug, defending what & egrave; that his best career result in a multistage race. Third & egrave; Instead the king of Falun 2015, which probably pays the effort to keep the tails of his compatriot in the first half of the race, even threatening to miss the podium of the Ski Tours Canada.
Fourth fact comes an extraordinary Maurice Manificat, for the seventh party, but the author of a sensational comeback that places him at the foot of the podium and gave him the stage win. For this French & egrave; win number 6 all inclusive in his career, the first classic technique, a culmination of what numbers in hand & egrave; It was his best season ever. Fifth & egrave; Alex Harvey, who can not defend the position he had at the start, but it is saved by the comeback of another great protagonist of these last stages, Matti Heikkinen, sixth and author of the second time in the race today. For the record third time and stage podium for the usual Martin Johnsrud Sundby.
The top ten & egrave; completed by Emil Iversen seventh, Hans Christer Holund eighth Finn H & aring; Jan Krogh ninth and tenth Marcus Hellner. The bad race today, without Krogh for second place in the overall standings of the World Cup. Northug fact rises to 1602 points, 18 ahead of compatriot, who still defends the podium by the return of Ustiugov fourth. For the first time in history, Norway monopolizes the podium of the Men's Cross-Country World Cup; in the past the sweep had only managed to Sweden in 1986-87 (first Torgny Mogren, according to Thomas Wassberg, Gunde Svan third).
Dignified l & rsquo; last race of the season the Blues: Francesco De Fabiani finished nineteenth with the & rsquo; eleventh stage time and, above all, make sure the World Cup reserved for Under 23, a result that still does not & egrave; He never has been questioned. also points to Dietmar N & ouml; ckler twenty-second in the standings with the twenty-sixth time, a convincing Federico Pellegrino ending the thirty-first and captures even the points in the twenty-first time and Giandomenico Salvadori & egrave; thirty-eighth, but the author of the sixteenth stage time.
