The holder of the World Cup and all the Cups of specialty is the fastest on skis where only Quentin Fillon Maillet proves to have his rhythms and, despite an error in the second polygon is imposed after a wait of more than half an hour in the virtual leader's corner.
Starting with bib 17, Johannes Boe sees potential competitors leave the scene minute by minute. The last to surrender, with the number 83, is the French Simon Desthieux who in the last polygon does not exploit a match point, pays a penalty and in the third round manages to recover to the winner 4 seconds closing at 7.8.
The Russian Alexander Loginov, who started a minute and a half after Boe, put together a great 10/10 to the shot, left the last range just 3 seconds but had to settle for third place at 14.6 ahead of compatriot Eliseev (0 + 0) that after the third place in Ostersund is close to the second podium in his career.
A positive Lukas Hofer, always fast on skis and aggressive as only this season is learning to appreciate it, he pays a single mistake on his feet and is fifth only 2 tenths from the Russian.
Tarjei Boe is sixth and in the second lap he uses his brother's towing gear, he is at the head of the decisive firing ground where he pays for the effort with two errors and closes at 23.4 from his brother.
The excellent Italian day is sealed by the seventh position of Dominik Windisch, eleventh time on skis and an error on the ground, for the first time at ease in individual tests in the season.
Martin Fourcade leaves half an hour later Johannes Boe, has all the references available to do everything right up to the polygon standing where he has a too aggressive approach and throws away, with two mistakes a great opportunity; for him only the tenth position preceded also by the Austrian Leitner (0 + 0) and by the Ukrainian Pidruchnyi (1 + 0).
Far behind, 79th and 82nd with seven seconds to split them despite two completely different races, Thomas Bormolini (3 + 1) and Daniele Cappellari (0 + 0)
