"Definitely I will race in South Korea, for the pre-Olympic stage. Then I will decide what to do. I realize that it would be pretty sad to greet everyone in advance not to attend the ceremony of transfer of the World Cup, but you only live once and birth of a child is a unique moment.
It is clear that me and my partner to know when it's scheduled delivery, but our first child came into the world with two weeks' advance.
At the moment they are open to all possibilities. For example not compete in Kontiolahti, however, go to Oslo. Or go to Norway for just a race. I honestly do not know yet exactly how I will act, because in this case does not depend on me. "
In the overall standings of the World Cup Fourcade it has 360 points of margin on Shipulin and 367 of Schempp when there are 7 races. Translated, in Korean stage, he can simply place themselves twice in the first eleven for the mathematical certainty of the Crystal Ball.
The presence in the Far East should effectively guarantee the even French Cups also Specialties of the sprint and dell''inseguimento, where he commands the operations with a margin of 100 to 101 more sull''avversario points near.
The situation is different in the mass start, where he currently is chasing Simon Schempp with a delay of 22 lengths. I wonder if the birth of the second child will push the Catalan to "leave it on the plate."
