The tactic of this race turns out different from the standard to which we have become accustomed men. No platoon proceeds compact until the sprint, indeed, from the very first meters it releases a group of seven men led by Sundby and which is also part of a Francesco De Fabiani, who has been confirmed as one of the most alternisti & ugrave; in the form of time and that you take the luxury of spending first in both intermediate sprints seats in the segment classic technique. In the end they go in three, Sundby, Niklas Dyrhaug and Hans Christer Holund, changing slopes with about ten seconds over De Fabiani and more than twenty others.
In segment skating there & rsquo; & egrave; history, Sundby takes and leaves alone since the first meters, increasing their lead at one meter intervals that reaches past the minute. Only the festivities end reduce that margin to 44 seconds still significant to explain his superiority & agrave ;. For him & egrave; this victory number 11 in the World Cup and 15 all-inclusive career, as many Ola Vigen Hattestad, Tor Arne Hetland and Axel Teichmann.
On the podium rise Dyrhaug and Holund: the Norwegian couple moving in parallel for all 15 km free technique, with Dyrhaug that gets the better in the last few hundred meters, getting his second consecutive podium after his victory in & rsquo; last leg of the Ruka triple. Holund can & ograve; still celebrate the first top-three in a class race, confirming all the progress already & agrave; shown at the end of last season.
The domain Norwegian continues with the fourth Sjur R ø the author of a great recovery in the segment in free technique, the sixth Petter Northug, the seventh of the young Emil Iversen and l & rsquo; eighth Anders Gl ø Ersen. It fits into this sort of national championship the only Maurice Manificat, fifth, while the top ten & egrave; completed by Stanislav Volzhentsev, ninth and best disappointing Russians, and Alex Harvey tenth.
In house collapses in Italy De Fabiani segment in free technique, failing even to finish in the points for him a thirty-second spot that indicates how perhaps to further improve pi & ugrave; the distance that does not step on rink. The best blue & egrave; cos & Igrave; Roland Clara, nineteenth, while Giandomenico Salvadori concludes fifty-fifth place at the first World Cup race of his career. Retired Dietmar N & ouml; ckler.
As anticipated, in the overall World Cup Sundby he goes on the run.
