Like in top shape
Is there a podium place for Germany at the Tour de Ski? It would be a big exclamation mark for German cross-country skiing. Friedrich Moch will try everything on Alpe Cermis. The 23-year-old already took a strong eighth place on the last tour, but this year he really came into his own and can now reward himself for his great achievements. Apart from Moch, only Lucas Bögl of the German team takes on the pain of the mountain climb.

Will Amundsen take overall victory?
The leader of the tour, Harald Østberg Amundsen, goes into the final stage with a lead of 1:34 minutes and can actually only beat himself.

But the podium is also within reach for the Frenchman Hugo Lapalus and Friedrich Moch, as they are only five seconds behind Nyenget.
