Live from Le Grand Bornand for the women's Mass Start: Wierer and Vittozzi are looking for the first podium of the season

At 12:45 the start of the first online start of the season with Roeiseland favored over the Oeberg sisters, but beware of the French pushed by the home crowd. The blue can try to finally get on the podium. There are some notable defections, in fact Tiril Eckhoff and Franziska Preuss will be missing.

As per regulation, 30 athletes will be at the start, the first 25 of the general classification of the World Cup plus the best 5 of the current stage. For Italy there will be Lisa Vittozzi, 13th in the Overall, and Dorothea Wierer, who occupies the 20th place. Both can try to fight for the first podium of the season. Doro in 2019 was second in the Mass of Le Grand Bornand behind Tiril Eckhoff, who will not be there, as well as the German Preuss. Lisa seems the more in shape of the two blue ones and if she were to overcome the polygons on the ground unscathed, everything would be possible. Here Live timing IBU! Here is the starting list! Roeiseland defends the yellow bib from the attacks of Elvira Oeberg, who scored her first career success in the CdM in the pursuit. The young Swede is putting on a show on skis but the opponents will not miss. For the podium there will also be his sister Hanna, but pay attention to Hauser, the Belarusians but above all the French, pushed by the friendly public. Simon was second yesterday and has always liked the race format, who knows that he won't be able to return to victory right in the home stage. Joy that was Justine Braisaz in 2017 when she triumphed right here in Le Grand Bornand.
