Gjesbakk stays clean!

Hulgaard going to try and tie his countryman's Thursday performance?

Too bad, Schommer threw away a really good result with 0+2.

Pettersen with 2+0, he's going to be a major threat.

Maybe you could play the Netherlands then.

Pettersen is way faster though, he'll have to hope Pettersen misses at least one more.

Plus the whole thing is just boring as shit, there is zero feeling of having a tournament when it's in so many different countries.

Also it's not controversial. At all. Egan is 32 years old, which is why I doubt she'll prove to be significantly better than Dunklee. There's not a lot of time to improve.

Or, at least as likely, with a faster start she'd have fallen back more than only two minutes. But I guess it's easier to just say someone isn't mentally ready to face the pain

Which only means for a sprinter she dealt with her energy very well for the distance. No reason at all to try and blow everyone away in the first kilometer even if you're a good sprinter

Bjornsen: 2018-19 Ottepaa WC (10 km classic) - 3:11 behind Johaug 2018-19 Seefeld WCh (10 km classic) - 1:41 behind Johaug One summer later... 2019-20 Ruka WC (10 km classic) - 0:45 behind Johaug Brennan: 2018-19 Ottepaa WC (10 km classic) - 3:09 behind Johaug 2018-19 Seefeld WCh (10 km classic) - 1:45 behind Johaug One summer later... 2019-20 Ruka WC (10 km classic) - 0:57 behind Johaug I share your feelings, don't get me wrong, but at least part of the difference is due to Johaug not having destroyed everyone as much as in those races.

Would have been the first Czech podium since Neumannova's 49th podium in 2007

RIP Razymova's podium

I've long tried to switch to just enjoying these 'surprises' (except for Chris holier than the pope Froome but that's another matter), I'll see in a few years which ones still stand

It's going to be close between Razymova and Weng/Brennan, she's still on pace. The danger is coming from behind though.

Yes, but normally by this time the main positions have long been decided, tour or no tour.

Pretty cool, the likes of Johaug and Parmakoski have long finished and there's still a full fight for the second and third place

She won two seconds on Karlsson between 5km and 6.2km and stayed equal with Weng in that part.

The snow having stopped is definitely having it's effect

Sadie Bjornsen is a major podium threat as well after 5km

wtf she keeps going, come on

Razymova

Women's 10k classic started, I'm curious who (if anyone) can stay within a minute of Johaug Too bad mega super talent Fossesholm isn't here yet.

I know it's just training, but I'm gonna say 'screw that' to that and have hope for a great Janka run

This must feel quite alright for home fans
