Alexey Poltoranin lets it rip in Dobbiaco

Poltoranin covered the ten-kilometer route in 22.51,8:0,5 minutes and narrowly relegated the Russian Evgeniy Belov to second place (+4,2) for his ninth World Cup victory. The Norwegian Martin Johnsrud Sundby came third. Last year's winner of the most important stage race in cross-country skiing lost XNUMX seconds to Poltoranin, who was able to gain two places in the overall ranking and is now fifth. The best “Azzurro” on Wednesday was Dietmar Nöckler from Bruneck. He finished 30th (+1.09,2), immediately ahead of his teammates Roland Clara (Reischach) and Mattia Pellegrin, who dropped out of the Tour de Ski immediately after the stage. David Hofer (St. Christina) was also at the start from South Tyrol and finished the competition in 42nd place in the classic running technique. “To be honest, I would have expected a little more. Nevertheless, I am satisfied. I'll give it my all again in the remaining three stages of the Tour de Ski and try to make further progress. As a team we are getting better and better from week to week. That makes me confident for the next competitions,” said the best “Azzurro” Dietmar Nöckler.

Northug loses a lot of lead The overall leader of the Tour de Ski remains Petter Northug, who couldn't get past seventh place on Wednesday and is now only 1,5 seconds ahead of his compatriot Sundby. Belov is 6,4 seconds behind Northug in third place. The best cross-country skier in the Italian national team in the overall ranking of the Tour de Ski is Dietmar Nöckler in 17th place (+2.14,2). The men continue on Thursday with a pursuit race over 25 kilometers. Due to the short time intervals between the individual athletes, an exciting competition can be expected.
