Lukas Hofer at rest: it will be an Italy to be discovered in the men's Relay of Anterselva

Double appointment tomorrow in Anterselva, with the Women's Mass at 13:10 and the Men's Relay at 15:05. On the one hand, Wierer will try to win the victory she missed last year at the world championships, on the other there will be an unprecedented blue quartet, ready to amaze.

After the near podium in the Individual, Lukas Hofer will not take part in the Relay to concentrate all his energy on Sunday's starting line, where he will try to take away a satisfaction that has so far only been cherished. For Italy there will therefore be both the 2000 class which continue to amaze: at the launch we will see Didier Bionaz, galvanized by the splendid 13th place in the 20 Km (best result in his career) and by the qualification for Mass. After the Aosta Valley there will be Tommaso Giacomel who, regardless of the results, has shown that he has a champion's approach to World Cup races. Thomas Bormolini and Dominik Windisch will close the relay. It will be difficult for the Azzurri to confirm the excellent results obtained so far in the team tests but, whatever happens, tomorrow's will be an investment for the future. Among the top nations Norway, Sweden and Germany appear in a typical formation, France instead replaces Fabien Claude with the returning Antonin Guigonnat. These four nations should play for the three places on the podium, with Russia and the revived Austria, ready to capitalize in the event of someone's missteps. Here the complete Startlist.
