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. In Italy, Lukas Hofer qualified, 23rd overall, and Thomas Bormolini who entered thanks to the points obtained between Sprint and Pursuit. The fight for the “stage”, that is the day's race and for the leader's jersey promises to be very hard fought and uncertain, with many athletes involved, starting with Quentin Fillon Maillet. The Frenchman won the Pursuit at the "Martin Fourcade", dominating in front of the home crowd and today he wants to defend the lead in the standings and achieve the Pursuit-Mass double.

Here is the starting list!
However, the Cup standings are very short: 5 athletes in 8 points, with Johannes Boe slightly more detached. The Norwegian triumphed in a Mass at Le Grand Bornand in 2019 in front of Jacquelin and his brother Tarjei, all ready to fight for the podium again. Samuelsson, Christiansen and the Russian Latypov will also be in the battle, which promises to be an all-against-all, with others ready to join, such as world champion Sturla Holm Laegreid, the emerging Belarusian Anton Smolski and the French Simon Desthieux.
