HOLMENKOLLEN (Dagbladet): – This season is probably not possible to do anything with him. But next winter, everything is possible, says Petter Northug.
He stands nyskiftet and bland in the press zone at Holmenkollen. Profit Lista show that he was number six. Not too bad there. But the distance up to the superb Martin Johnsrud Sundby was over three minutes. It is simply much.
– Yes, that’s what happened, as feared. It narrowly properly right from the start. It went bad quickly with Martin before. I saw that many capacity runners branch nose already in second round. I found it best to find me a place in the large group a piece behind a host of others, says Northug.
– This’ve been Martins weapons throughout the winter, to latch to start. He meets again and wins deserved. He impresses. There is nothing else to say about it, says Northug.
Following success template
– What do you others do?
– It is easy there. We must rise a notch. As it is now Martin in a way in a league of their own.
– How?
– It will take together and do a solid job next season. Then it’s championship, and one has to try to catch him, said Northug.
– Is it a job you dreading to do?
– No, I can not wait actually. But the going gets tough, it gets it. Very tough. But there is no way around it, so strong that Martin is now. I’ll grab the things that can do that I can go faster on skis, and I’ll do it properly. So we’ll see.
– Do you do a lot of new, or is it enough to follow the recipe that has given you so enormous success in the championships before?
– the basis is the same. The template is there. I know almost what to do every day in summer and autumn. But it is also important to constantly seek new inspiration. But I do not shy from my template, says Northug questions from Dagbladet.
Will the trend
– Martin’ve kind of changed public starts with their machine-related run from start to finish. It’s a long time since there has been lureløp which was settled in demand. Do you think Martin’s way of doing it is the trend to come?
– As long as Martin is in such form he comes naturally to continue the same way. And other see that it is possible to go on if they are strong enough and have the day. The rest of us just have to make sure to be strong enough to hang with, says Northug told Dagbladet.
– What about the rest of the season?
– I shall do what I can I, to defend a podium place in the overall world Cup. In Canada, divide the out many points, perhaps it is possible to struggle up a space, says Northug, who is third in summary, narrowly behind Finn Haagen Krogh.
– But doing something with Martin in winter, I think as I said is not possible.
