heywoodu 13,560 Posted December 20, 2016 #103 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's a shame though, this could be an even more one-sided women's Tour than in earlier years...at least Johaug and Bjoergen had somewhat of a fight sometimes if I recall correctly I very much doubt Oestberg is going to really bring the fight to Weng, same for Nilsson or Parmakoski.

Federer91 2,140 Posted December 20, 2016 #105 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Well Bjorgen hasn't taken the Tour seriously throughout her career, so i'm not surprised she will pass, especially after the 1 year break. The World Championships is all that matter to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,267 Posted December 30, 2016 Author #106 Share Posted December 30, 2016 For the first time ever SVK will not participate in the tour de ski how deep our nordic skiing fell ...ski jumping barely existing, nordic combined not anymore and now cross country skiing with no finance and future, very poor interest and absolute lack of talents... terrible, thinking we used to be pretty decent in the past meanwhile, tomorrow will start the 11th edition of the annual prestigious Tour de Ski. With only hours left until the start of the 11th edition of the Viessmann FIS Tour de Ski all Tour organisers report good snow conditions. The competition programme of the Tour will be carried out as planned. Val Müstair (SUI) On New Year's Eve and New Year 2016/17 the Val Müstair will once again be the center of cross-country skiing. The region receives the Tour de Ski for the third time but the first with two stages. Every second year, the Tour de Skis stops in Val Müstair in the home of the brothers Dario and Gianluca Cologna. Thanks to good weather conditions the LOC could produce enough snow and both sprint and distance competition tracks are ready. Oberstdorf (GER) Good snow conditions are reported from Oberstdorf, host of the 3rd and 4th stage of the Tour de Ski. Athletes and spectators can look forward to the best snow conditions and a 2.5km loop in the cross-country stadium Ried. In addition to great sporting experiences, the fun for the winter sports fans in the stadium is not to be missed, so the organizing committee will also be compiling an entertaining and eventful side program for all cross-country fans for the 11th edition of the Tour de Ski. For example a live band will create a great atmosphere for the stadium in the sporting breaks. Toblach, (ITA) Only one stage is going to take place in Toblach, Italy. The Nordic arena in the Puster valley is also ready to welcome the best Cross-Country skiers of the world. 5 km Ladies and 10 km F men are scheduled on 6th January 2017. Val di Fiemme (ITA) Val di Fiemme is the traditional host of the final stages of the Tour de Ski including the famous Final Climb. In spite of lack of natural snow the Tour de Ski track is already ready and also the Final Climb has been be open since Christmas. The connection between the CC Stadium and start of Olimpia III (Marcialonga track) has also been completed. Side events program features Fiemme Follk in the party tent on Saturday at 16.30, Après-Ski Race DJ Set in the party tent and at 18.30 Fiemme Rock & Roll and Pasta Party Felicetti. On Sunday 8th January at 9.30 Rampa con i Campioni and Tour del Gusto all night long (see program attached) will take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,182 Posted December 31, 2016 #110 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) 47th place is an excellent result really. Now I kinda hope that as many will drop out as possible so that we can get first ever cross-country WC points by the end of the tour.
