Canmore (adressa.no): “Perfectly decent” is the way Petter Northug season can be described. Saturday night he was shot victory in Ski Tour Canada when Martin Johnsrud Sundby adopted fighting forces. Northug was third. Russian Sergei Ustiugov was number two.
– It was one of my worst races, says Northug to Adresseavisen.
– I was sure I was going to be picked up by Maurice Manificat in third round . There were starry. Brutally, he sums up.
Having characterized the whole tour and been among the favorites to win the overall before the last stage, it went as it has been accustomed to do in Tour de Ski for 30 year old. Northug was fragått the final stage.
Blytungt lead and not optimal skiing must take their share of the blame for Northug went in goal nearly two minutes behind Sundby. Assessed against what he has done previously in winter is Northug form good, yet he is not at the level he was at when he left home with four World Championship gold in Falun last year.
For prolonged illness
Earlier this week have both trainer Stig Rune Kveen and Northug even told that the two months without training last summer is a major cause of the Mosvik man has not been able to follow Sundby this season.
Now alerts Kveen grip before next season’s World Championships in Lahti.
– We’re going up a notch. It has been a decent season, but we must roll up our sleeves and do an even better job, he tells Adresseavisen.
– When starting next season for you?
– In my head we start now to plan the season. We’re going to keep up throttle in any way and go some skiing competitions in April. We begin to write a new diary on May 1.
Must stay healthy
The most important thing for Northug is managing to stay healthy in ramp-up phase.
right now Strindheim runner most like to just relax and unwind. Sunday he goes and Emil Iversen Lake Louise, to participate in the show race Red Bull Nordix. What happens at night, when the world’s elite can finally relax a little after the last major race, he leaves for Emil Iversen to decide.
– I do not know what happens tonight. It must ask Emil Iversen
A happy boy
Iversen, who long lay took a podium in Ski Tour Canada, was eventually number seven and thus third-best Norwegian runner.
– I felt like I had a pretty good day. I am really very happy. It was insanely heavy going and good to get the goal. Now I’m finally done. I’ve had an awesome season and is really a crazy happy boy now.
Star shot in Norwegian men’s cross country this season has ambitions in Lake Louise Sunday.
– I and Petter will try to cooperate . We go for the win there too, Iversen with a smile.
