Norway dominates the Male Relay of Nove Mesto; Giacomel and Bionaz's Italy is sixth

Exceptional debut for the Italian boys who with the support of Thomas Bormolini at the launch and an excellent Dominik Windisch keep Italy fighting for the podium until the last shooting range.

Vetle Christiansen (0 + 2), Johannes Dale (0 + 2), Tarjei Boe (0 + 1) and Johannes Boe () triumph in the Male Relay of Nove Mesto bringing Norway back on the top step of the podium after Ruhpolding's missteps and, above all, of the World Championships in Anterselva. If Christiansen and Dale find themselves in battle and bring the Norwegian battleship to the head in the middle of the race thanks to the rhythm on the skis, the Boe brothers compete against themselves. Tarjei widens the lead from 8 to 42 seconds while Johannes Thingnes Boe (0 + 0), while keeping an eye on tomorrow's Mass Start, ramps up taking over the minute and then gets up and closes "alone" with 38.2 seconds. In the relay of planet Earth, the Russian Khalili, the Ukrainian Pidruchnyi, the Swedish Ponsiluoma and the German Doll meet in the last lap for the podium. It is the Ukrainian (0 + 1) to assert the law of the fittest bringing Pryma (0 + 2), Semenov (0 + 1) and Tkalenko (0 + 1) on the second step of the podium that is completed, 43.3 from the winners, from Sweden of Samuelsson (0 + 1), Nelin (1 + 4), Femling (0 + 3) and Ponsiluoma (0 + 1) Italy is excellent in the experimental version with two boys from 2000: Bormolini (0 + 2) at the launch limits the damage and Tommaso Giacomel confirms the exceptional impact of yesterday's debut using only one recharge on the ground and with a high-speed polygon standing with 5/5 to find the blues halfway through the race in seventh position at 27.3 from the head of the race and 19 seconds from the podium. The best Dominik Windisch (10/10) takes Italy to the last change in second position and the absolute debutant Didier Bionaz does not tremble using only one refill per polygon closing in sixth position at 1.46.9.
