The second place in the mass start redeems the disappointing Tour de Ski of the Aosta Valley, while "Chicco" today in Val di Fiemme did not feel great sensations, but will go hunting for poker in tomorrow's sprint in classic technique.

A dream Francesco De Fabiani in his race, when the hopes of seeing him at the top of this Tour de Ski seemed to have vanished.
Arrived in Val di Fiemme, here is the ready redemption of the 27 year old from Gressoney-Saint-Jean, in a mass start that gave him the seventh podium in this format of his nine in his career, as he was two years ago on these tracks. In that case it was Klaebo who dominated the Aosta Valley, this time the ruler of the Tour de Ski and the World Cup, Alexander Bolshunov. With some regrets for having attacked too soon: "Even though I came from a somewhat difficult start of the Tour de Ski, today I managed to make up for it, but it burns a bit and I think I will have to change tactics in the future - he told Fisi .org - With Bolshunov and Klaebo this tactic is not enough, I was fine and I didn't want to be caught unprepared if they had started strong. In the end we arrived quite stretched and I was there, it's still a good podium ”.
Federico Pellegrino will instead focus everything on tomorrow's sprint, even if after the three consecutive pearls in skating between Davos, Dresden and Val Mustair, on Saturday he will compete in classic: "Today I didn't feel well my legs, it's not the best way to present yourself to a classic sprint, but I hope that the energy saved in today's race will be enough to recover - explained the blue champion - Every day is different: in the morning I wake up, listen to my body and if I'm okay I continue with the program, otherwise it is difficult.
We'll see after the sprint if I can get to the bottom of this Tour de Ski: I think day after day ”.
