reformulation: – The coolest I’ve seen
– It was a demonstration of power without equal. It was one of the coolest I’ve seen, said TV2′s cross country expert Odd-Bjørn Hjelmeset overrun
Johnsrud Sundby leads the Tour standings, 1.18 ahead of Petter Northug. Reformulation think the Tour is already determined.
– He has a good distance in the morning too. And now he’s not so bad sprint either. I think we can put what we own and have the overall win now, says reformulation.
Sundby: – Thrive with discomfort
– I am pleased that I am able to set a pace that is in excess uncomfortable for the other guys. I enjoy it. Then I know that now I’m to daue, so when doing enough they back there, ‘said Martin Johnsrud Sundby to TV 2.
Northug: – Insanity sticking there
Petter Northug was happy for the second place.
– I have not given up hope of summary. But one must be realistic. There is a man who has dominated this year’s World Cup and who has won the last two Tour de Ski and which has never been so great favorite that year. And he has done everything right so far in the Tour. I am very pleased that I’m number two and has got nice distance to competitors like Dario and Harvey says Northug to TV 2.
– You sound like purest Thorvald Stoltenberg. You’re not a man who is happy to be number two.
– No. But it is important to preserve traditions, he grins.
– But the sticking of like a mass start. It’s madness?
– Yes. It is. It’s madness. It is incredibly strong to win here today. He did everything right and managed to acquire many bonus seconds. I was hooked by the after two sprints, but I managed to arrive there at the end and save the day, he said.
