The climb up Alpe Cermis

Norwegian nordic legend - Vegard Ulvang - does a video course inspection of this final stage of the Tour de Ski. The climbing speed, strength, and heart-lung capacity of the world cup athletes who will be hammering up this course today is amazing. American Kikkan Randall and Kris Freeman had poor skis yesterday, but watch both of them rebound today. Canadians will be fighting for an overall Tour podium, and my bet is on Babikov to take the prize money home for this stage ... they don't call him "the Bulldog" for nothing.
