It opened in Livigno, with the format in use for a couple of years for the prologue, the season of the Visma Ski Classics. In the day dedicated to the teams to allow the runway to all the athletes in front of the audience and the cameras, it started late in the morning with the men's race segment, a test against time in the usual classic technique on three laps of the track of five kilometres. The Norwegian team Kaffebryggriet, who preceded by 8 seconds the Swedes of the Lager 157 Ski Team. Third place for the Russian Marathon Team while last season's rulers Rafge Eiendom, Andreas Nygaard and Tord Asle Gjordalen closed only in seventeenth position 28 seconds behind the best.
The male component of the teams has therefore left room for the girls who have faced each other in an individual race in pursuit starting from the gaps of the men's trial. Cut off the team Kaffebryggriet did not introduce girls to Livigno. Britta Johansson-Norgren managed to defend the first position of the Lager 147 SKi Team on the finish line since the return of Astrid Oeyre Slind who has never managed to bring the gap to the under 10 seconds to close with a second position for Team Koteng . Great fight for the third place between Maria Gräfnings and Katerina Smutna who has the best, bringing the 'ED System Bauer Team on the third step of the podium.
In Livigno tomorrow, amateurs will be given space with the traditional Sgambeda on the 30 km in free technique while the prologue of the Visma Ski Classics will return on Sunday with the individual test on 28 km.
