Klæbo leads tour
This year, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is the one who will contest the second half of the Tour de Ski as the favorite for overall victory. After three of the six stages, the Norwegian leads the overall standings with a 45-second lead over his compatriot Pål Golberg. Alexander Bolshunov is in third place and should try not to miss too much in the sprint today, because that’s where he lost most of the time to Klæbo.
