Therese Johaug (NOR)

„I know that the girls behind me they are going together and I am in the front and have to fight for myself so this is quite hard.

I have decided that in this tour I will take day by day. My goal is to fight for the first place in Trondheim. There are two Sprint races so I have to fight for the points there."

 

Heidi Weng (NOR)

"It was a hard course with not many possibilities to rest and you had to try to keep the speed all the time. But it was fun with the many people who cheered on us.I feel better in skating so I dont know how to set my expectations for tomorrow’s classic race.

The Tour waits with long races and so I decided to take day by day.“
 

Ingvild Flugstad Østberg (NOR)

„It was for sure a really good start for Norway with a triple podium and that is an incredible feeling. I feel really good myself. Of course Therese is in her own class but I am satisfied with my own race.

Of course it was brutal to come up to 5km and to hear that you are 17 seconds behind.“

 

Sjur Roethe (NOR)

„I had quite a slow start with being number 33 after 2.6km. It was the plan to do a slow start but maybe not that slow.

Tomorrow I need to compete more aggressive from the start. I have been unsure the last days and felt tired and so I just want to save my energy."

 

Simen Hegstad Krüger (NOR)

„Tomorrow will be an exciting day. Me and Sjur have a small gap to our followers and there will be a tough race. We will try to work together and see how long we can keep the chasers behind.

It’s going to be a simple but still tough task. In the Ski Tour 2020 there will be many highlights and that is always exciting with something new."

 

Finn Hagen Krogh (NOR)

„The course is good for me as its a lot of striding which is a good technique for me and of course it was skating where I always hope for a good result. It’s been a up and down season for me so I am not sure how I will react with the position tomorrow.

I have no expectations, as I dont like to race when I have to focus on results and the best races I do is when I dont have to focus on results."
