Andrea Giovannini, Luca Stefani and Nicola Tumolero & ndash; Quest & rsquo; last took place Francolini & ndash; compete on equal terms with the other top teams and confirmed among the first forces in the world. These partials of the eight laps of the race: 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 2, 26 & rsquo; & rsquo; 6, 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 8, 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 1, 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 9, 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 1, 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 2 , 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 2 for a total of 3 & rsquo; 46 & rsquo; & rsquo; 74.

L & rsquo; & egrave not blue; went beyond the 14th in rushing in 4 & rsquo; 20 & rsquo; & rsquo; 14. A debut among the best specialists in the world not so & Igrave; positive for her, working for the first time in Division A of the 3 km and a week ago he had run with a time pi & ugrave; fast for more than 11 seconds. Victory & egrave; went to the & ldquo; & rdquo usual; Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;. Whenever the mileage increases, the Czech proves to have no rivals. The 28 year old world champion on the same track in March, clearly wins in 4 & rsquo; 03 & rsquo; & rsquo; 50, ahead of 1.89 l & rsquo; Dutch Anouk van der Weijden & ndash; second career podium in the cup, after the success of 2014 won at Heerenveen - and 3.07 seconds Russian Olga Graf. With the success of today, Martina share rises to 40 individual successes & ndash; pi & ugrave; a gold in & rsquo; s Team Pursuit dated 2009 - in the World Cup. It impresses especially his winning percentage in the 3000 meters. Distance in which, on 54 races, he won in 26 occasions.
In group B, you & egrave; ventured instead Francesca Bettrone, ranking the 14 & deg; place overall in 4 & rsquo; 19 & rsquo; & rsquo; 17. The Venetian earns cos & Igrave; a point in the standings specialty & agrave; on 3 and 5 thousand meters. The race if the B & rsquo; & egrave; won the Chinese Zhao Xin in 4 & rsquo; 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 70, in front of Josie Spence (Canada) and Ida Nj & aring; tun (Norway).
Lee Sang-Hwa has centered the third consecutive Cup victories confirming after the double success on the track in the last week of Inzell.

L & rsquo; Tyrolean tesserata for the Sporting Group Forestry & egrave; only twentieth & ndash; the last Division A - after covering around 100 meters of the race in 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 29. A time trial quite disappointing, considering the performance his - a very different level touched in his last performance - and rivals today.
Pavel Kulizhnikov (9 & rsquo; & rsquo; 74 departing), releases his usual power in lap 24 & rsquo; & rsquo; and 7 wins in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 48 without difficulty & agrave ;. For the & rsquo; athlete born in Vorkuta (CITY between the Urals and the Arctic Ocean) is the tenth consecutive success & ndash; at the turn of the last season and the current one - in the 500. In addition, the 21-year old sprinter Russian triumphs for the 17th victory in the World Cup in the space of little more & ugrave; of one year. But there & rsquo; & egrave; Kulizhnikov only to give joy to the Russian skating, because & eacute; Also on the podium with him salt compatriot Aleksey Yesin (34 & rsquo; & rsquo; and 65 personal best touched for 2 cents too), who gained his first podium in the individual career.

First the Dutch, true disappointments of this race, & egrave; Kai Verbij (fifth in the 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 86). Much more & ugrave; behind other sprinters Oranje Hein Otterspeer (14 & deg;), Jesper Hospes (16 & deg;) and the Sochi 2014 Olympic champion Michel Mulder (19 & deg;).
In Division B & egrave; still got a positive test & ndash; this time without the podium, in contrast to what happened a week ago in Inzell & ndash; for the Italian record of 500 David Bosa. The Trentino still gets a good fifth in the 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 43. The bearer of the Golden Flame you must append to the winner Espen Aarnes Hvammen (Norway), the first in 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 16, Artyom Kuznetsov (Russia), Nico Ihle (Germany) and Denis Koval (Russia), but gains another 8 valuable points in the his run towards the promotion in the first group: currently & egrave; in 25th place with 73 lengths, to 44 points from the top 20. The second blue in the race, Mirko Giacomo Nenzi, closes ninth running in 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 527.

Vince l & rsquo; Netherlands female, first in 1''29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 23 ahead of Russia, after a chaotic race because of falls & ndash; Norway and Canada on all & ndash; and disqualifications.
