In uncertainty as to whether and how this stage of Kontiolahti will end as scheduled, Johannes Thingnes Boe puts another seal on the conquest of his second general World Cup.
The Norwegian stages another perfect test: 10/10 at the shooting range and an embarrassing supremacy on skis where in 10 kilometers he trims at least half a minute to the rest of the company.
The only ones to try to oppose the Norwegian tide are the French Martin Fourcade and Emilien Jacquelin. Monsieur Le Biathlon with a wholehearted performance climbs to the second step of the podium at 21.1 from Boe while Emilien Jacquelin. for a few weeks the most on the ball among the French, he too perfect at shooting limits the damage on skis finishing in third place at 22.3 from the winner.
At 30.6, Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen (0 + 0) is fourth ahead of compatriot Tarjei Boe (0 + 0) by just over 3 seconds. In the Franco-Norwegian duopoly, the German Benedikt Doll (0 + 1), the only one with a mistake to enter the top ten, finds space in sixth place. Seventh position for Quentin Fillon Maillet (0 + 0) at 39.7, eighth Simon Desthieux (0 + 0) at 40.8: Arnd Peiffer (0 + 0) closes in ninth position at 48.4 and precedes the 23 year old Norwegian Sturla Holm Laegreid who, after the Nove Mesto's debut with thirteenth place, entered for the first time in his career in the top ten of a World Cup race.
The best of the blues is Lukas Hofer (2 + 0) who, with the twelfth time on skis, is twenty-fourth at 1.25.3 and precedes 5.1 seconds Thomas Bormolini (0 + 0), twenty-sixth. Dominik Windisch (2 + 0) is fortieth at 1.51.9 while an excellent performance of the twenty-year-old Didier Bionaz (0 + 0) arrives, forty-eighth at 2.09.6 while Tommaso Giacomel (1 + 1) is fifty-ninth and there will be 5 Italians in the 'Chase on Saturday.
