Kläbo went out with a 20 second lead and was going to ride "controlled".
Already after six kilometers he was caught, not only by the runner-up Paal Golberg, but also by about a dozen riders.
Calle Halfvarsson, who finished 33 seconds behind, and William Poromaa, 48 seconds, were in the big group where the German Friedrich Moch, 15th in the 10 km classic where he was 57 seconds behind, was the one who took in the most.
