Tomorrow at 2.30 pm the start of the sixth Sprint of the season, orphan of many possible protagonists who for one reason or another do not appear on the starting list. However, Italy will be complete, with the question mark on Lukas Hofer's form, returning after having deserted the Oberhof stage.

The South Tyrolean preferred to skip the races in Thuringia due to a form deemed not up to par and faced some training sessions in Anterselva, to try to get back to the top right between Ruhpolding and the home stage. Tomorrow he will be at the start with 35, closing in the first group and immediately after Thomas Bormolini (34). For Italy there will also be Tommaso Giacomel (46), Dominik Windisch (82) and Didier Bionaz (104).
Many, many absences, already planned for some time or in the last hour. Among the top fifteen of the general there will even be 8 missing, including those in retreat thinking about Beijing and those who have been stopped by Covid. Among the positives there are Weger and Latypov, already out in Oberhof, and Kuehn, winner of the season of the Hochfilzen Sprint and stopped in the last hours by a tampon. In its place, Germany has called up Horn. Absent, as announced in the previous weeks, Norway "A", which will therefore give space to the second lines that dominate the length and breadth of the Ibu Cup (where today the Norge third lines have won a double). Among the Scandinavians there is the debut for Aspenes and Jorde, while Johannes Dale returns to WC, a man with one victory and six career podiums, hijacked in the cadet circuit after a bad start to the season.
On the other hand, France will be present as a whole, with Fillon Maillet, leader of the general, at the start with the 17 immediately after his teammate and rival Jacquelin, who instead leads the specialty classification and is second in the overall. At the opening of the race we will see Samuelsson (4), Loginov (6) and Ponsiluoma (7).
