January 08, 2011 (Val di Fiemme, Italy) – It was Petter Northug’s (NOR) day but Canada’s Devon Kershaw put on another show of force as he claimed the bronze in a photo finish at the men’s 20km Classic behind Tour leader Dario Cologna in 3rd. Alex Harvey was 5th just back of Martin Jaks (CZE) in 4th. It was Kershaw’s historic 4th WCup podium at the Tour – the great Pierre Harvey had three WCup podiums in 1988 – and he’s now in 4th overall with Harvey in 7th as both are within striking distance of Jaks for the final podium spot in the overall. Northug is 1:18 behind leader Cologna and could threaten for the win as the Tour de Ski wraps up on Sunday with the final 9km freestyle Pursuit Stage 8 with the grueling climb up Alpe Cermis.
