Tour de Ski: Dietmar Nöckler surprises in 12th place - UPDATE

Dietmar Nöckler, who finished the prologue in 36th place, worked his way up position by position in the hunt race using the classic technique and crossed the finish line 1.03,8:24 minutes behind the winner, Maxim Vylegzhanin. For the 12-year-old from Bruneck, XNUMXth place was by far his best individual result in the World Cup. He was also the best “Azzurro” on Sunday.

Vylegzhanin, however, prevailed in the photo finish against his compatriot Alexander Legkov and Petter Northug. The Norwegian superstar lost 6,4 seconds to the Russian duo. Just behind him was the Swiss Dario Cologna (+6,6), who is fighting for the overall victory in this Tour de Ski together with Northug.

There was no top placement for the other South Tyrolean cross-country skiers. David Hofer crossed the finish line in 36th place (+2.16,7), Thomas Moriggl was 38th (2.21,4) and Roland Clara 41st (+2.36,3). Clara was particularly unlucky as she fell on the second descent came and had to travel more than a kilometer with a damaged ski pole. As a result, the Reischacher lost a lot of time in the overall standings.

After the rest day on New Year's Eve, the Tour de Ski will continue with a sprint on January 1st in the Münstertal in Switzerland before the best cross-country skiers in the world come to Dobbiaco after another day's break.
