Also in the men field the Italians have shown to appreciate the polygon of the Haute Savoie, always finishing in the 10 in the last stage disputed: Dominik Windisch seventh in the mass and ninth in the sprint, Lukas Hofer seventh in the pursuit.
Le Grand-Bornand is the favorite hunting ground of Johannes Thingnes Boe, the place where he dominated sprint and chase in the first four consecutive races, including the first two of his career. The Norwegian lost only the start in line, preceded by 3 "9 by ... Martin Fourcade.
