Marit Björgen is the queen of Dobbiaco

Marit Björgen probably laid the foundation for her first overall victory in the Tour de Ski on Thursday. In the most important stage race in cross-country skiing, she was the first to enter the cross-country ski trail as the leader of the overall ranking, gradually expanded her leading position on the 15-kilometer route and won the pursuit competition in 36.37,9:XNUMX minutes. For Marit Björgen it was the seventh victory in Dobbiaco: she was at the top of a stage of the Tour de Ski five times and the Norwegian won a World Cup race in Alta Pusteria twice. Due to Björgen's dominance, the other cross-country skiers are only left with extra roles in the Tour de Ski this year. Björgen's compatriot Heidi Weng crossed the finish line in the Nordic Arena in second place. She started 1.35 minutes after Björgen, lost another 15 seconds on the 23 km route and reached the finish a total of 1.58 minutes behind. Third place went to last year's overall winner Therese Johaug, whose gap has grown to almost three minutes (+2.51).

Best "Azzurra" Ilaria De Bertolis

The best Italian on Thursday was Ilaria Debertolis. She is in 7.16th place, 24 minutes behind Björgen. Virginia de Martin Topranin was 35th, eight and a half minutes behind, while Francesca Baudin was 40th, more than nine minutes behind. After a rest day on Friday, the Tour de Ski 2015 will end at the weekend with the last two stages in Fiemme Valley.
