After having skipped the relay, Lukas Hofer goes in search of the podium, so many times missed in the last few races but always escaped. Between Oberhof and Anteselva the blue has in fact collected three quarters, a fifth and a sixth place, spread across all the competition formats. The online start on the home snow could be the right opportunity to capitalize, taking advantage of the rest day and the great uncertainty that reigns at the top of the standings. Debut in the format for Didier Bionaz: a great opportunity to gain experience for the young Valle d'Aosta after the splendid 13th place in the Individual.
Here the complete Startlist!
Here the IBU Live Timing!
The race promises to be uncertain and with many possible protagonists. Johannes Boe, after the defeat suffered yesterday in the sprint with Emilien Jacquelin, has a poisoned tooth and is looking for redemption. The Norwegian's victory, however, passes from the percentages to shooting, down in the last two stages. However, Norway can also play the Tarjei Boe card, at the start with the red bib as leader of the specialty ranking, and the Legreid card always chasing Johannes Boe in the general classification and ready to close the circle and be able to win in all four formats within a month and a half. Attention also to the French Jacquelin and Fillon Maillet, to Arnd Peiffer, winner in the format in Hochfilzen, and to the Russian Loginov, galvanized by the success in the Individual.
