Sundby recorded the fastest time of the stage to move up from sixth overall at the start of the day.

Weng began the day trailing teammate Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg by 1.8 seconds but pulled away and won by 48.5 seconds with the fastest time of the stage in the 9-kilometer free pursuit.

''I knew when it got steep that was when I wanted to make my move,'' Weng said.
