January 05, 2013 (Val di Fiemme, Italy) – It was a great day for the Canucks on Stage 6 at the Tour de Ski in Val di Fiemme, Italy, in the men’s 15km CL on the same course that’s part of the 2013 Nordic Worlds Championships next month. Len Valjas raced to second and Alex Harvey was third behind winner Alexey Poltoranin (KAZ) who took his second stage victory. But Harvey is not racing on the final stage up Alpe Cermis because of his leg that was operated on in 2008… Head Coach Justin Wadsworth explains why.
