Cologna takes Tour lead, Legkov wins race
Russian Alexander Legkov tapered his training for the Tour de Ski and it began to pay off today (Jan. 3) as he powered to the win of the fifth stage, a unique 5k test for the men at Toblach. With nine stages on the schedule and longer distances ahead, he is in position to slide up the Tour standings.
The Tour lead is now held by Swiss Dario Cologna, the third place finisher on the day. The result bumped him ahead of Norway’s Petter Northug with a 15 second lead.
Placing second today was Eldar Roenning, just a 1.7 seconds off Legkov in the final sprint. Legkov got a ton of help from his Russian teammates as they crammed four racers into the top 10.
“I have a chance of winning (the Tour de Ski),” said Legkov, “but today is only the fifth competition, so I have to take one race at a time.” He said he had trained hard for the Tour and said that, in part, was responsible for a slow start on the season.
Cologna said that although the 5k track seemed short, it was still a big challenge. “You had to keep a high speed throughout the whole track. I had a good start, not too fast and yet I had very good speed. It was a really good race for me and I’m happy to take the overall lead back. Fifteen seconds is not a big gap, I will have to get good results in the next races if I want to win.”
Marit Bjoergen claimed the women’s win in a 3k contest ahead of Justyna Kowalczyk, eating into the Tour lead of Kowalczyk and whittling it down to 17.7 seconds. American Kikkan Randall finished 29th on the day and dipped a bit to seventh in the Tour standings, now nearly four minutes off the pace.
