Gällivare: Many surprises – tricky predictions!
Many surprises in today’s XC-Predictions for the 15/10 km free technique in Gällivare! On top today was Pre-Ole with 576 points ahead of Herminator.
The biggest negative surprises were in the men’s class. Dario Cologna was tipped on top – but finished 19th. Northug was also tipped up there – but finished 7th. Even worse: Johan Olsson who finished 31st. The winner Martin Johnsrud Sundby was tipped down in 16th place!
In the women’s class it was more like expected. The only surprise was Justyna Kowalczyk’s 27th place – on the other hand Kowalczyk has often had a slow start as discussed in the race preview.
