Johannes Høsflot Klæbo once again totally dominates the field and bags his fourth Tour de Ski stage win in six days.

Norway’s Johannes Høsflot Klæbo won the 15-kilometer classic mass start event in Val di Fiemme, the fifth stage of Tour de Ski. 

When Iivo Niskanen of Finland surged about halfway through the race, Klæbo was the only one capable of keeping up with him. 

But when Klæbo picked up the pace a lap and a half later, Niskanen eventually had to let go. The 25-year-old Norwegian then increased the gap to Niskanen and the rest of the field, crossing the finish line more than 20 seconds ahead of the Finn. 

Right behind Niskanen, it was a three-way Russian battle for the last spot on the podium. Alexey Chervotkin beat Denis Spitsov to the finish line, while Alexander Bolshunov was fifth.
