Weather forecast
As today, it will be below zero in the night and during the day we expect great and sunny weather with about + 6 C at the competition time.
Special remarks to the participants:
Axel Teichmann will be not at the start at the Pursuit race. The German athlete was sick and had to use antibiotics for three days.Race Director Jürg Capol's remark:
Tomorrow's Pursuit race of the men will take place again under nice and sunny conditions. A fast race is expected as the track will get frozen in the night. We have the same courses then today in the ladies pursuit only the men's are going four round each.As we could see on ladies pursuit competitions, we didn´t have any big group at the end of race. Athletes in best shape can search a decision before and win a gap. And I´m sure, we will have see offensive skiing and even early attacks.
Among the favourites are for sure the Mass start expert Petter Northug (NOR), Dario Cologna (SUI), the Italians, the French and Tobias Angerer (GER). Maybe also Markus Hellner (SWE) can be strong if the first, the classical part of the race is slow.
