Jarl Magnus Riiber, party competition by a wide margin, has started in the best way, extending its lead over the pi & ugrave pursuers; dangerous. Eric Frenzel has indeed had a lethargic start, enough to tag along to Akito Watabe, while the two were also joined by Jan Schmid and Lukas Klapfer. The German has only upped the pace in the second lap and, by cooperating with the Japanese, began to gain ground on the tread, sucking H & aring; vard Klemetsen. Quest''ultimo Klapfer and you are then detached from the Teutonic and dall''asiatico during the third round, while Schmid has stood up tains's Last. Frenzel and Watabe they then hooked Riiber during the penultimate kilometer. However, the Norwegian teenager has again demonstrated its ability in an ideal way to manage their own forces, fighting back sull''ultima climb those who 'had achieved and gaining ground on more & ugrave; experienced opponents. The young Scandinavian appeared destined to win the race, but made a big mistake. Instead of & eacute; take the road to the finish line, different from the one taken in the previous three rounds, carried out the curve to get back on track again! Realizing the blunder, instead & eacute; stop and go back on the correct path, literally cut into the final straight that ran in parallel to ten meters away. Therefore, despite being first past the finish line, the 'action resulted in the' immediate disqualification. The lack of lucidity & agrave; & Egrave; then was double because & eacute ;, pausing and retracing his steps, Riiber could have saved a placing in the top five, if not the podium. With his behavior has instead undermined every effort. Sincerely thanks Frenzel, which you & egrave; are getting the victory served on a 'silver platter. The twenty-seven Saxon & egrave; in fact, he managed to be right in the sprint dell''encomiabile Watabe, again forced to give up the success. The German has therefore taken up the seventh season success, the Japanese seventh place of 'honor! At least "the 'enterprise" good Jarl Magnus does not undermine the struggle for the Crystal Ball Since & eacute; the lengths of the difference between the points assigned to the first (100) and second (80) are as many as those that separate the second (80) and the third (60). Moreover Frenzel & egrave; He became the second combined athlete in history to reach the milestone of 30 wins in the World Cup (previously the 'had only reached Hannu Manninen, arrived at 48). The all-inclusive achievements are 33, a milestone that allows him to bypass permanently Ronny Ackermann and appear as solitary all''inseguimento the gi & agrave; quoted Manninen (49). The Norwegian flag is still flown on the podium thanks to Jan Schmid, found itself promoted to third place on the reverse side of Riiber. Fourth the 'grim Klemetsen, while the Germans Johannes Rydzek and Fabian Rie & szlig; the products are in their usual great recovery in the bottom of settling finally in fifth and sixth place. Klapfer has instead paid the beginning of the race finishing ninth efforts, also passed by countryman Bernhard Gruber and the darling of Ilkka Herola home. Home Italy Samuel Costa, 31 & deg; after the jump, do not & egrave; Party in the light of the moon and athletic condition of the will & agrave; to preserve the pi & ugrave; possible energies for a long weekend. Armin Bauer for its part has concluded 35 & deg ;, while Raffaele Buzzi has completed in 41 th position a pi & ugrave; than decent debut. Frenzel extends again in the general classification of the World Cup, reaching 1,011 points against the 844 of Watabe. Rie & szlig; the back to stretch in the race to step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium, pulling himself to 689 against 573 of Graabak (today only sixteenth). We must stress that Riiber, without today's disqualification and that of Seefeld (transponder not withdrawn at the start), could have been in line with Rie & szlig; the. Instead orbit at 384, behind even Krog (440), Rydzek (431) and Gruber (415).
