Modeled after cycling's Tour de France, it takes place over several days around New Year and features a series of races held at different locations across Europe. It is part of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup calendar and is considered a test of endurance, versatility, and tactical skill."
"Diggins entered the final stage with a commanding lead-more than a minute ahead of her rivals-and skied a smart race on the 10 km mass start freestyle to secure the title with a total time of 2:11:26.1. Although she finished second on the day behind Norway's Karoline Simpson-Larsen, her overall margin was decisive, finishing 2:17.7 ahead of Austria's Teresa Stadlober in the final standings. Norway's Heidi Weng completed the podium."
