Sundby beating sharply back from the knock on previous mass. Røa-runner opened hard and lay down in the lead from the start. Eventually there were only Niklas Dyrhaug who managed to follow. The two got a little weed, and Dyrhaug la real pressure on the Tour leader. Sundby kept his cool, however, and in the very last hill he said goodbye to his team mate.
– It was good to get to this. There have been a rod out tour. I told Didrik this morning that today would I get it. So this was delicious, said Niklas Dyrhaug to NRK after the race.
– I’m very happy to be number two. Tomorrow will be enough many Norwegians on the podium. It’s just about mobilizing final round. Also it is survival of the fittest up the hill there.

– I have a good point. I hope I get a radio in your ear so that I follow the progress of the other guys on the team, he said to TV 2.
– So for you it becomes a romantic trip up?
– My goal is to have the best time on the final stage, says Sundby.

Northug think pallet bust up the hill
Northug on its side believes the battle for second place is run.
– I’m a little too heavy, but I’ll enjoy the ride to the top. I’ll try it anyway. It will be a war. It takes a lot for me to take the podium now, but I’ll be fighting, he says and keeps Didrik Tønseth as favorite to andreplasen.
– Didrik becomes terribly strong. Looking at the list now I Didrik in second place, a snap front Finn Haagen Krogh. Would have liked a minute to the gang there.
