Val Senales (Dagbladet): Yesterday, Petter Northug sigh, including on its own and in this sammenhengenomdiskuterte tv channel, when the agreement with FIS finally arrived in port.
After months of tug of war ended with a three-year contract, which Northug get free from national team duties outside the international flows season.
However, it is now virtually certain that Peter is going to go in both Lathi-VM 2017 and Pyeongchang Olympics in 2018 with this agreement to the metal.
Between championships
And there are the two championships Northug mostly talked about when he told us what his motivation is the kommendeåra.
But the season which is only a few weeks away from stakes start at Beitostølen has no championship. There is a såkaltmellomsesong der Tour de Ski and innovation Tour of Canada are the two big draws.
– It’s championship as trigger Petter most, of course, everybody knows that. The next big main goal is the Lahti World Championships, but Petter is really looking forward the season coming now. He is sparkling and in good spirits, have very big motivation for both Aatra and compete. He has enough sinister intentions for the winter as well, he says Northug trainer, Stig Rune Kveen Dagbladet.
A possible Tour de Ski winner?
At the foot of the mighty mountain massif that takes cross-country skiers up to Val Senales glacier at 3,000 meters above sea level require the question on.
Can Petter struggle up the so-called monster hill and win the Tour de Ski this year? In its tenth attempt?
– Now it is a fact that the ground are there. Petter goes well between 35 and 40 ski races during a season, and it’s ten minutes motbakkeder. Sure, you could have done everything to be completely raw to walk the ground, but it could be that it had been at the expense depart 35 second ski run. The ground suits him like a glove, but he has good legs and a small head start so it is quite possible to win the Tour de Ski, says coach Kveen.
Six times Petter stood at podium in the Tour de Ski. One might think that it is equally tough uphill in his head when hanbegynner on the ground in Val di Fiemme.
– No, when we know how raw he is to take out all the competitions, so it goes well most of the ground is steep turn Kveen fixed.
A man for his Tour
there is of course no secret that Petter, also physically larger than most others in cross country circus. The best climbers are the ones who have the least to go uphill.
For the paradox of the nine failed Tour de Ski experiments are namely that tour concepts suits him very well. Petter Northug withstand many races over a few days, and have known as a winning mentality somewhat higher than normal.
And thus also Tour of Canada a big goal this season.
– Yes, there drop it down, then. Tour of Canada fit enough Petter better than the Tour de Ski, but simultaneously Petter also be first up the hill in the Tour de Ski. He has had threatened to win the Tour de Ski every year he has set. He does not go into the Tour de Ski and going to be number two or three, says Kveen.
Total Dream
And add that Petter Northug is among the few who have success in the championships after also having been in the lead in the Tour de Ski, you can start fable about what Northug can get to in a season in which he will not have to pay attention to a championship a few weeks later.
There is a kind of warning to the Tour de Ski winner and overall World Cup winner the last two years, Martin Johnsrud Sundby.
– The goal is to fight for victory in the World Cup overall. Anything else would be stupid when he spends so much time on this. So should it be awarded a fair amount of points in Kuusamo and in Canada, and successful man there is one with the fighting for bullet right away, says Kveen.
– How it looks out today is likely that Petter is going to be with and compete at the top along with Dario, Russians and of course Martin.
