The Tour de Ski finally starts the day after tomorrow. Weather is supposed to be pretty catastrophic. In Oberstdorf it is not at all clear what can be skied. Currently there are double-digit plus straight and also heavy rain is announced. The two stages could also be quite interesting in terms of waxing. In Val Mustair, the Pursuit has already been replaced by a mass start, which means that the weak sprinters will hardly have a chance to catch up.

I've been wondering, what exactly is the purpose of replacing a pursuit with a same-distance mass start? How does it save anything?

 

If you can use a shorter track for a mass start, surely you can do the same for a pursuit, so that makes no difference. Plus in a pursuit, there's the wave start at say 4 minutes or so, so there will be a maximum of what, 10 minutes more in which an athlete is on track? That shouldn't make too much of a difference..

 

But yeah, 10-12 degrees for Oberstdorf the days after tomorrow, not as awful as it was for the 2021 world championships, but it's not promising...

Do that Mike Dixon and the other guy on Eurosport's English commentary ever do cross-country skiing outside of the Tour de Ski? They really sound like those stereotypical English Eurosport commentators, with 90% of the commentary being those super generic fact-sheet things like almost all of those English Eurosport commentators during the Olympics :d 

 

"It's all about the power and about keeping the speed now!" Yeah, duh.

Diggins out, 40th. Urevc 44th, Carl 57th, very disappointing. Weng 53rd, which is less surprising, but still painful.

 

Karlsson with a very impressive 5th place, she's ready for the classification. Fähndrich impressive again, and a strong 3rd place for young Märta Rosenberg. And yeah, impressive debut for Sanfilippo :d
