Sturla Laegreid and Johannes Dale make no mistake at the first shooting range while Johannes Boe pays two mistakes like Sebastian Samuelsson. Christiansen takes advantage of this and starts the second lap with 39.6 to recover on the first, Johannes Boe is at 51.8 together with Ponsiluoma (5/5) and Jacquelin (5/5). Lukas Hofer (5/5) is in a small group between 7 and 10 at 1.10.0 with Jakov Fak, Tarjei Boe and Garanichev, soon joined by Quentin Fillon Maillet (4/5).
The two young Norwegian shoots also came out immaculate from the second session on the ground as did Christiansen who remained at 42.6 with Johannes Boe, Jacquelin and Ponsiluoma in a matter of seconds. 20 seconds behind them Tarjei Boe, Fak and Garanichev while Hofer scores two errors and drops to seventeenth position at 1.48.5.
The Laegreid - Dale couple is divided by the first standing polygon where Sturla Laegreid pays a single penalty round and gains a thirty-second advantage over Ponsiluoma, Christiansen and Jacquelin who make no mistake. Johannes Dale with three errors finds himself together with Johannes Boe who fails once again, 44 seconds behind the leaders.
Sturla Laegreid does not miss the appointment with the victory by closing the last polygon immaculate and flying towards the third victory of the season, with a coupled Sprint - Pursuit. Ponsiluoma, Jacquelin, Johannes Boe and Christiansen are not mistaken that the two less noble steps of the podium must be played in the last lap.
Laegreid (0-0-1-0) walks in the last lap and crosses the finish line first with 8.5 on Jacquelin (0-0-0-0) who attacks on the last climb gaining that advantage that he manages to defend on Johannes Boe (2-0-1-0). Fourth Christiansen (0-0-0-0) at 13.0, fifth Ponsiluoma (0-0-0-0) at 15.7
A great Didier Bionaz (0-1-0-0) is nineteenth, better than the Italians, at 1.52.1.
