Norway and France, always theirs, to contend for the world title in the men's relay, won in Oestersund 2019 by the Scandinavians and then passed into the hands of the transalpines in Anterselva. During the season, the “bleus” lead by two wins to one, but the norge never went beyond second place. It promises to be a balanced challenge. France let Claude rest and lined up Guigonnat in the first fraction, Norway instead gave up on Dale and put Christiansen in closing, moving Boe to third. Tactical choice of the norge who try to be aggressive since the French will have Jacquelin in closing.
Here is the starting list!
Here the IBU Live timing!
Italy comes to the start with Didier Bionaz at the launch and followed by Lukas Hofer, Tommaso Giacomel and Dominik Windisch. During the season, the Azzurri played excellent races, finishing third in Oberhof. The dream would be that of a medal, but there is no lack of opponents. Germany and Russia start slightly ahead of the Italians, but Sweden could also enter the fight for the podium, with Ponsiluoma and Samuelsson in the second part of the race.

Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
