In fact, the blue technical staff decided to field Irene Lardschneider at the launch, just back from a decent Sprint in which she touched the points zone. Following there will be Lisa Vittozzi, engaged in a stage that is not usual for her that could however serve her in the women's relay. Among the men Thomas Bormolini was awarded, who won the ballot with Giacomel and Bionaz. The Livigno rider will be involved in the third fraction before handing over the baton to Dominik Windisch, who as usual will close the relay. Here the complete Start List! Here the IBU Live timing! Favorite technique of the race is Norway, without the brothers Boe and Eckhoff, but equally frightening in all four fractions. At the launch there will be Tandrevold and to follow Roeiseland, Dale and Laegreid. Very solid also the French quartet (A. Chevalier-Braisaz-Fa. Claude-Fillon Maillet), which will be able to fight for the podium together with Germany (Hinz-Herrmann-Doll-Peiffer). Instead, a step below starts Sweden, orphan of Samuelsson and Hanna Oeberg.
