Northug's secret sprint gears?

Indeed, Peter Northug Jr. uses a lot of strategies. Compilation of
Northug's rankings for the 19 WC long distances (10 km+) in 2009-10
corroborates Paul H's excellent analysis.

Northug's average finish rank was 2.3 in mass start or pursuit races,
while only 10.8 in individual starts. Median finish ranks were 1 and 4
for mass start/pursuit and individual start races, respectively.

That says a lot!

Indeed.

When your median is 1, it isn't too surprising that you also win the
overall world cup by quite a lot. :-)
