He finished his second World Cup season with three victories. Klæbo's second victory of his Tour de Ski debut put him in the blue bib which he held for the rest of the tour. This roaring start to the young Norwegian's career is just the prologue to what promises to be a tremendous sporting journey at the very highest level. I just need to concentrate on what I have to do.
