Sacré début de saison
Oystein Pettersen remporte cette course longue distance au sprint en 1h07 juste devant ses coéquipiers Morten Eide Pedersen, Simen Östensen et le revenant Petter Eliassen, déjà très en forme.
Les gros bras du Team BN Bank devancent leurs collègues du Team Koteng, Berdal et Jespersen, et du nouveau Team Ragde Eiendom représenté par l'infatigable Andreas Nygaard.
Alexis Jeannerod, Bauer Ski Team, prend une belle 14e place.
Bastien Poirrier, Team Jobstation Rossignol, termine 29e, Thomas Chambellant, Team Jobstation Rossignol, 40e, et Loic Guigonnet 42e, E Liberty Ski Team.

La réaction du vainqueur
“This is the greatest day of my life,” “We’ve worked so hard for this team and built everything up from scratch and to have a glorious day like this is beyond my wildest dreams. I value this victory even more than my Olympic success.
For a while, it seemed that I may not be able to perform at this level again, but I’ve been healthy this year and my training has proceeded really well. And it’s great to have Petter in our team and being as strong as ever.”
