The skier threw humor on Instagram.

Iivo Niskanen was tearing up on social media after leaving the Tour de Ski in the middle of everything.

– On the milk train towards Milan-Cortina, he wrote in the publication, where Niko Anttola also posed.

Both Karpas leave Italy before the Val di Fiemme weekend. The four stages so far have been skied in Toblach.

Krista Pärmäkoski also appeared in the comment section of the milk train publication. He also stopped the Tour after Thursday.

– Do you take the trailer for a ride from Munich? Pärmäkoski carved.

– We are in the animal wagon, there is room, Niskanen answered.

The weekend trips to Val di Fiemme didn’t offer Niskanen enough to see anymore, so that it would have made sense for him to stay in the competition. On Saturday, there will be sprint skiing, and on Sunday, the tour will end with the final ascent of freestyle skiing.

The Olympic winner was tenth at the Tour de Ski after four stages, one minute and 53 seconds behind the leader Johannes Klæboa. Pärmäkoski’s ranking dropped to 46th on Thursday. He was already almost seven minutes ahead of the leader.
