To open the dance will be the eldest of the Bø brothers, fresh from a splendid victory in Thursday's Sprint, which allowed him to reach the milestone of 10 career victories in top-level individual competitions. He will be followed by Arnd Peiffer (+14 "), while the margin on Johannes is more than one error (+29").
The leader of the general classification of the World Cup will try to go hunting for his brother to hit the goal of 50 victories in first level individual tests. To do this, however, he will have to find the best ski pace. Not far from the podium are the Swiss Weger (+36 ”), the Norwegian Bjøntegaard (+44”) and the Slovenian Fak (45 ”).
The starting position of Ponsiluoma (+51 "), the best on skis in the last sprint, is also very interesting. The compatriot Samuelsson and the French Fillon Maillet and Jacquelin will have to try the comeback from a distance.
He pays just over a minute from the lead Lukas Hofer, who if he manages to slightly raise the shooting percentages could aspire to something important. The other Azzurri present in Kontiolahti, who will prepare for Sunday's relay, did not qualify for the Pursuit.
Here is the complete Start List!
