On Tuesday morning, the message came that Sergei Ustyugov was leaving the ongoing tour. Ustjugov's coach Markus Cramer says it should be a disease that stops him, according to Russian site R-sports.
He is fourth in the overall World Cup - but he has had a less successful opening of Ski Tour 2020. After two stages he was in a 21st place for one minute and forty seconds after leading Pål Golberg.
Also Natalia Nepryaeva gone
Yesterday also came the message that Natalja Neprjajeva is forced to leave the tour. Markus Cramer then told that the Russian fell ill after she had to go to Moscow to get a visa.
- When she came back to Östersund she did not feel very well. She is very all-round and had good chances to rank high, Cramer told Expressen then.
