Giacomel dreams of the first podium in the Pokljuka men's pursuit, there will be four Azzurri at the start

At 14:45 the start of the fourth Pursuit of the season with only one man in the lead, Johannes Boe, back from an overwhelming victory in the Sprint. The Trentino rider has the podium in his sights but for Italy there will also be Bionaz, Braunhofer and Zingerle.

A great Italy in the Pokljuka Sprint, which in addition to the excellent Giacomel, also placed Bionaz in the points, who will start with the 24th at 2'08" from the leader and Patrick Braunhofer, good at his return after a long stop to reconfirm the excellent results of the beginning of the season. The twenty-four year old from Cavalese will have bib number 36 and a delay of 2'36", but David Zingerle also qualified (54th at 3'06"). However, the man to bet on will be Tommaso Giacomel, who in the test on the two polygons recorded the third best time on skis, finishing 6th at 1'10" from Johannes Boe, but only 22" from the second place occupied by Tarjei . Just ahead, the Trentino driver will have Doll and Krcmar, but for the podium area he will have to contend with Tarjei Boe and Sturla Holm Laegreid. Here the IBU live timing! Here the starting list! The obligatory favorite is undoubtedly Johannes Boe, capable of giving a good 48" in the Sprint, almost two "bonus" errors on the gearbox in view of today's race, to his brother Tarjei, while Laegreid will start 3rd at 55". Instead, the French Fillon Maillet (9th at 1'21") and the Swedes Samuelsson and Ponsiluoma, who will start in the Bionaz area, will have to try the comeback.

In Val Pusteria sono andate in scena due giornate della versione estiva dello sci di fondo, con Marco Pinzani e Federica Cassol che hanno tronfato nella sprint del sabato sull'asfalto di Anterselva. A Dobbiaco, invece, le 10 km in alternato hanno regalato il successo a Davide Graz e Maria Gismondi, all'interno della cornice della Nordic Arena per quella che è stata la prima tappa della Coppa Italia invernale.
