Live from Le Grand Bornand: all chasing Johannes Boe, Jacquelin wants the yellow bib

At 15:00 the start of the third Pursuit of the season. The Norwegian starts in front of everyone but the margin is small. The Frenchman, pushed by the home crowd, aims for primacy in the general classification, where he now has only three points behind Samuelsson: the challenge is open. For Italy there are Hofer and Bormolini.

In the first two seasonal Pursuits Johannes Boe never got on the podium, but after regaining the victory that was missing from 17 races in yesterday's Sprint, he aims decidedly for the double, which would lead him even more to be the undisputed ruler of Le Grand Bornand . The data at the moment speak of 7 victories in 9 races in the French location, of which three in today's format in which he is still unbeaten. Behind him Latypov is only 7 "away, while the young Andersen pays 18". It promises to be a hard-fought race open to comebacks. Here the IBU live timing! Here the complete start list! In fourth position is Fillon Maillet (+21 ”), winner in Hochfilzen and on the hunt for his fifth career success in the format. Behind the transalpine Laegreid (+25 ") and Smolski (+27"), with Jacquelin 7th at 33 ". The Frenchman starts with an 8 ”margin on Samuelsson (9th), currently the leader of the general. The two are separated in the standings by 3 points and the fight for the yellow bib is more open than ever. In Italy there will be Thomas Bormolini, 17th at 59 "from Boe, and Lukas Hofer 30th at 1’26". Tommaso Giacomel and Daniele Cappellari, on the other hand, did not pass the cut of 60.
