The favorite for this specialty is without a doubt Federico Pellegrino the holder of the title won at Feltre, who is ready to repeat himself at home in front of his countrymen. An adversary of all of the Val d'Aosta will certainly be Francesco De Fabiani, who has grown a lot in the sprints, as well as many of them wanting to conquer the World Cup pass in Cogne. In women, the favorite is Greta Laurent in the first place, without underestimating Lucia Scardoni and Elisa Brocard.
Saturday 2 are the distance tests in classical technique starting from 9.30. In the 15 km the prediction is reversed compared to the sprint with De Fabiani willing to win in his region, the 'athlete of Gressoney Saint Jean will have to guard against a Pilgrim who preceded him in the last stage of the World Cup in Otepaa. In the women's 10 km the favorite is Caterina Ganz, after the good test played in Otepaa, as well as Lucia Scardoni very strong in the distance.
