Swiss & egrave; took the final podium 5 times in a row from 2009 to 2013, but from this point of view the record holder & egrave; Petter Northug, who despite never having been able to cut the finish line first Cermis & egrave; He managed to close to 6 times in the top three. The Norwegian pu & ograve; also boast the record of most stages won, 13. L & rsquo; only Italian to have finished a & rsquo; & egrave edition on the podium; Giorgio Di Centa, third in 2008, beaten in the sprint for second place by Rene Sommerfeldt. Pietro Piller, Federico Pellegrino and Roland Clara are able to establish themselves in a stage: Sappada in & rsquo; pursuit of Nove Mesto in 2008, the Aosta Valley and l & rsquo; Alto Adige in the previous edition respectively in the Sprint Valley Monastery and the Climb to Alpe Cermis. The first solo of the final victories of Cologne will come & agrave; put to the test in this tenth edition. Martin Johnsrud Sundby fact & egrave; back from two consecutive victories, and his overwhelming start to the 2015-16 places him as number one favorite for the Tour de Ski. As a further advantage of the Norwegian it must be stressed that & egrave; unbeaten in the last six events multistage tier played (2 Tour de Ski, Nordic Opening 3 and 1 Finals), of which we can say is a real specialist. Whereas Norway has occupied 5 of the last 6 steps of the final podium of the Tour de Ski (only Evgeniy Belov third twelve months ago has stopped the & rsquo; hegemony norge) & egrave; likely that the main opponents of Sundby are just his countrymen. Petter Northug, who as already & agrave; said holds the record of podium finishes without ever winning, prover & agrave; to dispel the tab & ugrave; victory, but will have to do it & agrave; arrive at the foot of the Alpe Cermis with about a minute ahead of everyone.

The main alternatives to the subjects of King Harald come from France and Russia. Maurice Manificat & egrave; He appeared in great shape in the first half of the season, and if it were to limit the damage in the Sprint potr & agrave; the Cermis recover time and positions. Difficult given their proverbial inconstancy figure out who among the Russians potr & agrave; aspire to the top positions even if the conditions of form shown in Toblach by Alexander Bessmertnykh, Stanislav Volzhentsev and an Alexander Legkov that knows how to win the Tour de Ski foretell that there will also be among their protagonists. Less expected the Swedes, as men rush Calle Halfvarsson and Marcus Hellner are coming from several ailments that have affected the preparation. Dario Cologna finally & egrave; a real question mark: so far has not achieved impressive results, but the condition & egrave; growth and the ability & agrave; not discussed, woe to underestimate him. As for the Italians, the & rsquo; & frontman will agrave; Federico Pellegrino, not so much for the general classification but the two Sprint plan. The Aosta Valley is presented in Lenzerheide with the red bib of specialty & agrave; and l & rsquo; opportunity to increase its margin bench & eacute; Sondre Fossli Turvoll, second in the standings, has been specially selected by the technical Norwegian to rack up points in the Sprint. To follow even Francesco De Fabiani, author of an excellent Ruka Triple and with the possibility & agrave; closing the top ten also the Tour de Ski, while Roland Clara, should have finally found the best form, potr & agrave; try to repeat in Climbing Cermis which, results in hand, & egrave; one of the best specialists of the time.
