The Norwegian won a fourth Tour de Ski and joined record holder Graubünden at the top of the stage event list. Simen Hegstad Krüger won at Alpe Cermis.
With Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, records fall one after the other. Imperial in sprints for many years, the Norwegian has once again proven that he is also capable of shining in distance races. This Sunday he won a fourth victory in the general classification of the Tour de Ski, thus equaling Dario Cologna, the only one so far to have registered his name four times on the stage race list.
Everything was not easy this Sunday for Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, who had to manage his effort during the climb of Alpe Cermis. The 28-year-old cross-country skier ceded the spotlight to his compatriot Simen Hegstad Krüger, who won ahead of the Austrian Mika Vermeulen (also 2nd in the Tour) and the German Friedrich Moch. The other good operation of the day is to the credit of Hugo Lapalus. The Frenchman finished 4th in the Val di Fiemme, 3rd in the Tour and left with the jersey of the best climber, that of the sprints logically going to Johannes Høsflot Klæbo.
-The Swiss will have struggled until the end of this Tour de Ski for once entirely Italian. Beda Klee finished 30th overall and Janik Riebli 54th. The latter still took third place in the sprint rankings. The other Swiss representatives gave up.
