The leader of the general led a race alone, increased the advantage over his rivals in the first laps, and then get up in the conclusive and sail towards fluency in the triumph. And 'so came the victory in season number 6 (out of 10 tests) and 37 in his career.
Again in second place a tenacious Johannes Rydzek, author of a good comeback and able to not give up until the last. The Teutonic remained for three quarters of the race with the group that played the 4th square, but in the last lap he upped the pace for groped to reach Akito Watabe and Mario Seidl. Goal reached right in the final, where sprint has had the better of the Japanese. For the Japanese Watabe then it arrives in the second seasonal podium in a positive race and managed very well.
Fourth place for Jørgen Graabak, brilliant in the final as Rydzek, but overall it was felt the fatigue of a game in the team sprint yesterday, remained in the legs to everyone who took part. Norway won a sprint again, this time with Fabian Seidl Rießle 5th and 6th.
Eero Hirvonen back in the top 10 (7th) and Bjoern Kircheisen (8th). The first is entered four times out of eight (the absence in Ramsau), while the second stores a good 10 out of 10. Ninth position for Mikko Kokslien, comeback from 32th place thanks to the fastest time on the narrow skis.
Closes the top 10 Magnus Krog, just before a positive Hideaki Nagai the best result of the season. Great comeback for Bryan Fletcher 13th, able to recover as many as 20 positions. Good performance also for the emerging Antoine Gerard, 15th today.
Samuel Costa finished 17th, but he remains a very positive weekend. Nothing you can complain to blue at the bottom, because the difference compared to the three previous competitions was on the jump, not brilliant today. It remains open strip of placings in the points (8).
The other blue Raffaele Buzzi retired after 7.5km. Even for him this was a good weekend, since the aim was to overcome the PCR and take part in the races. The athlete is still backward condition, but it can definitely try to find it in this month ahead of the World Championships.
The general classification sees Frenzel head with 834 points, ahead of Rydzek to 750. It should be noted as the Saxon in Val di Fiemme has gained only 40 points over his teammate, despite a very clear superiority. In third place we find Rießle (541), followed by Kircheisen torque and Watabe (389).
