Sunday 5 January 2014 4 minutes reading time
The huge advantage with which it started (49 seconds on Northug, more than a minute on all the others), allows you to scale Sundby in peace Cermis, going on to win by 36 seconds ahead of Jespersen and just over a minute on the resounding Dürr. To Sundby is the fifth career victory, the fourth in the World Cup and the second in multistages events after the Ruka Triple won a little over a month ago. And with 400 points forfeited the Norwegian also puts a serious threat to the World Cup, as it now controls about 250 points of margin on Jespersen.
Norway complete his triumphant Tour de Ski with second place Chris Jespersen, authentic revelation of the season. Jespersen, third party reaches Northug before the hardest part of Cermis, inexorably pulling and going to take second place in complete solitude. The holder of the crystal ball instead proves once again all his difficulties on the Cermis also being reached and removed by the extraordinary Johannes Dürr, author of the best time to climb and therefore the winner of the stage, the first success of his career. The Austrian is thus the only non-Norwegian on the podium of the Tour de Ski, women included. Northug had to settle for fourth place just ahead of Sjur Rothe, which completes the domain that also sees the Norwegian Tord Asle Gjerdalen Didrik Tønseth seventh and tenth. '' It should be remembered that the success of Sundby is the first for the subjects of King Harald V at the Tour de Ski men in the field; 2014 opens with two taboo debunked so since even among women before Johaug no Norwegian was never able to cut the finish line first Cermis.
The quarantunenne Giorgio Di Centa is the best Italian. The Friuli in eighteenth place to 4'22 by Sundby. No other blue hits the TOP30: Thomas Moriggl closes fortieth, while Dietmar Noeckler and Matt Pellegrin decide not to take the start of the last stage.
