The Norwegian superstar is going to the Tour after all.

Therese Johaug see you at the Tour de Ski, which starts in Toblach next Saturday, contrary to the previous plans.

Conkar journalist Ernst A. Lersveen tells Dagbladet that he was able to predict the Norwegian U-turn while watching the World Cup in Davos last weekend.

Johaug finished third in the 20 km race.

– I knew it right away, Lersveen inform for the magazine.

– Johaug received a clear message in Davos that he still has a big job ahead of him. He looked tired, which is not often seen.

Lersveen emphasizes that there is no real problem in Johaug’s situation, but the situation has changed since the dominating Olympic season 21–22.

Now, the woman aiming for the World Championships in Trondheim has to put everything into action instead of letting the turn of the year pass with signs of rest.

– He is no longer at his former level. You can’t get better training than competing, the former Norwegian TV2 man reminds.

– He is at a good level and wins skiing competitions, but seems more humane. Competitors also take it into account. They must have received a mental boost in the sense of “hell, it’s possible to beat him”.
