Well, this has ended up a much better race than I'd initially feared. Seeing the French lineup after the sprint+pursuit, then the Swedes being without Elvira, the Norwegians being without a great deal of form and the Germans being without... well... literally everybody that's got any of their good results this year... I thought it'd be a walkover, but the relay does strange things.
If she'd not given up after the long climb she might well have picked up 2nd when Ingrid fell, but I think after the struggle she had on that hill and seeing the two of them go, having a huge gap behind her she eased up.It ended horribly, and Simon wasn't far away from a Steve Bradbury-esque victory.
Dominant performance by the fluor boys in Engadin...
Vermeulen said that he feels the duty to line up for the spectators, or something like that, but that the results currently would be no major goal for him.Klaebo closing in on victory nr. 100.
Apart from that i don't understand why him, Vermeulen and Lapalus don't take a break until Falun or WC.
Boe might have already checked out. Laigreids relentless consistency at the minute is quite something.
Johannes seems to have mentally checked out a bit.At the moment Tarjei is actually looking stronger than Johannes so Lægreid is the favourite not just for the World Cup but also for the Worlds imo.
Dominant performance by the fluor boys in Engadin...
Explains his drop off in form. He's still world class, but hasn't been anywhere as dominant this year.In Nordic Combined Riibed is ending his career at the end of the season because he got diagnosed with Morbus Crohn.
Italy and bad courses, name a more iconic duo...
Same as 2019, just the opposite direction (at least for the distance races)Is it the same course from 2019? Or is it one from the early 2000’s?
