Demand on Sweden’s women: “They must gain at least 30 seconds”

Radiosporten reports that, even before the second stage of this year’s Tour de Ski, Sweden faces a steep task in the overall battle. Expert commentator and former world champion Torgny Mogren sets a clear benchmark for the Swedish women: to remain contenders for the overall victory, they need to claw back at least 30 seconds from current leader Jessie Diggins today.

Stage 2 is a 10 km classic individual start. The men’s race begins at 11:45 and the women’s race at 14:45. Coverage is available on the Sveriges Radio app and on P4.
