11.16: Second place for Stenshagen, now the sprint for third place
11.15: VINCE JOHANNES KLAEBO

11.11: Both Anger and Heggen are in difficulty on the climb. They may come loose
11.09: At km 17.1 Klaebo maintains a 54″ lead, Pellegrino’s group is 1’04” behind

11.04: Iversen and Pellegrino respond to Stenshagen’s attack
11.03: Action by Stenshagen who detaches the other members of the chasing group
11.01: Moser seems to be in difficulty at the back of the chasing group
10.58: At the end of the third lap Klaebo continues to increase his lead, at 1’18” Stenshagen, Iversen, Amundsen, Heggen, Schumacher, Moser, Pellegrino, Anger. Barp’s group at over 2 minutes
10.51: At km 9.1 Klaebo, at 1’02” in Stenshagen, Iversen, Amundsen, Heggen, Schumacher, Moser, Pellegrino, Anger, at 1’51” Barp, at 2’21” Graz in comeback on the third group
10.49:; Second lap completed. Klaebo in the lead, Stenshagen, Iversen, Amundsen, Heggen, Schumacher, Moser, Pellegrino, Anger. At 1’43” Elia Barp’s group made up of around twenty athletes
10.47: Reesta leads Klaebo with a 55″ lead over the chasing group

10.35: Klaebo in the lead after 5′ of the race with a minute advantage over Heggen, Amundsen and Moser
10.31: The race started with Klaebo in the lead
10.28: More indicative, in perspective, is the performance of Elia Barp, 13th in the general, called to confirm solidity and continuity over a distance that can say a lot about his growth as a Tour man. Carollo, Daprà and De Fabiani will instead have to play an endurance race, without being dragged into too aggressive starts.
10.25: For Italy, the Dobbiaco stage represents a test of great difficulty but also of clarity. Federico Pellegrino, eighth in the general classification, starts with an already significant gap, but the objective remains to limit the damage in a specialty that is not his most congenial.
10.22: Klaebo starts with the leader’s bib and the responsibility of managing the race: the objective will be to control the pace without giving openings to those chasing. Behind him, Heggen and Amundsen instead have an opposite task: to force the pace and try to return, perhaps taking advantage of tactical alliances in the first kilometers. Also pay attention to profiles like Emil Iversen, who can benefit from a long and “clean” race, without the chaotic mechanisms of heat mass starts.
10.19: In the men’s field, the situation sees Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo leading the general classification after three stages, with 45 seconds ahead of Lars Heggen and 57 over Harald Oestberg Amundsen. An important margin, but not yet definitive, especially in a 20 km classic technique, a distance that rewards complete and resistant cross-country skiers rather than explosive ones.
10.16: The format is that of pursuit: we start with the gaps gained in the general classification after three stages and the order of arrival at the finish line coincides exactly with the new Tour ranking. There are no bonuses, there are no times “to be interpreted”: whoever arrives first, commands. A formula that enhances the tactical dimension, but above all the ability to withstand pressure, because every second lost today weighs double, both on the stage and on the overall economy of the Tour.
10.13: After three stages already full of indications, the Tour de Ski 2025-2026 remains in Dobbiaco for the fourth stage, the last on the South Tyrolean route before the transfer to Val di Fiemme. On Wednesday 1st January the program offers one of the most selective tests of the entire stage race: the 20km pursuit with classic technique, for men and women, a race that closely links the day’s result and the general ranking.

In a chase, even a small management error can turn into a heavy loss in the standings.
For Italy, the fourth stage is above all an opportunity to look for answers after an encouraging third day. Caterina Ganzfresh from a test of character in the mass start, remains the blue reference, while Federica Cassol, Martina Di Centa, Anna Comarella e Iris by Martin Pinter they will try to exploit a more linear race compared to the heats, focusing on regularity rather than jerks.
