Follow today’s 15 km mass start in our winter studio from 13.00.
(Dagbladet): Swedish Calle Halfvarsson is one of four runners who still have a chance to win the Tour de Ski standings.
The Swede is second in Summary – behind Petter Northug with Martin Johnsrud Sundby and Evgenji Belov right behind. Today 15 km classic mass start is the last opportunity to acquire an advantage before the monster hill in Val di Fiemme will climb tomorrow.
And whereas in the Norwegian tenant has been racket around cooperation and prize money, the Swedish squad ready for one thing: They run all of Halfvarsson. Daniel Richardsson and Marcus Hellner will on today’s stage appear as a “help riders” for overall candidate.
For Aftonbladet says Richardsson that the Swedish team has three ways they want to help his teammate on.
1) If Halfvarsson are tired they will go up in the lead to slow down.
2) If the other candidates combined participates in sprint, they fling themselves on.
3) Are they equally with Halfvarsson they will brake and release team mate ahead.
The winner of today’s mass gets 15 bonus seconds. In addition, it placed two sprints along the way that give the same reward. Sprints comes after six and eleven kilometers.
– Are we right next to each other, he gets to come first. He certainly had sprinted from me anyway, but it is clear Calle to get the second, says Richardsson, who goes for a fifth place overall.
He believes Sweden has an advantage that only have a combined candidate – compared with Norway has two.
– Both Petter and Martin will have the bonus seconds, so I think we have an advantage there.
