Italy tries to shuffle the cards: the startlist of the Le Grand Bornand women's sprint

At 14:15 on Friday the start of the third Sprint of the season: after Kontiolahti and Hochfilzen the transalpine stage of Le Grand Bornand gets underway before the Pursuits on Saturday and the Masses on Sunday. Italy wants to continue the excellent path undertaken at the start of the season and try to play strategy.

In fact, three of the five blue women present in France will be in the second starting group: in addition to Rebecca Passler (41), there will in fact also be Dorothea Wierer (35) and Lisa Vittozzi (45), who have decided to change the cards compared to the others pretenders to the podium, all in the first group. For Italy there will also be the highly confirmed Samuela Comola (4) and the young Hannah Auchentaller (81), making her seasonal debut in the World Cup. The German Voigt will open the race who will precede the Polish Zuk and Hanna Oeberg, immediately on the track with bib number 3. Low numbers also for Denise Herrmann-Wick (6), winner of the last Sprint in Hochfilzen, Anais Chevalier (8) and Tandrevold (11). Shortly after it will be the turn of the leader of the general classification of the World Cup, the French Julia Simon (14), who will try to defend the yellow bib in front of her home crowd. Lisa Theresa Hauser, first in Kontiolahti at the beginning of the season, will be on the 23rd, while Elvira Oeberg caught on the 26th and will precede Marketa Davidova (33). In the second group, in addition to the blues, eyes on Franziska Preuss (36) and Linn Persson (37), third in the Kontiolahti Sprint.
