Until now, the good Swiss air of Lenzerheide favors the French women. Finally, to Justine Braisaz-Bouchet especially, untouchable Thursday in the sprint, then Saturday during the pursuit. Julia Simon was also pretty confident, finishing 4th then 2nd respectively in these races. Obviously, the two Blues are expected this Sunday, during the mass start, whose heroine of this stage of the World Cup is the reigning Olympic champion. Also author of a sprint – pursuit double in Östersund, but absent until now in Switzerland due to Covid-19, Lou Jeanmonnot should make her return.
The horizon seems blue, but watch out for Ingrid Tandrevold and Lisa Vittozzi waking up, completely off their skis on Saturday. The Norwegian remains at the top of the World Cup rankings, with 35 “small” points ahead of Justine Braisaz-Bouchet.
>> Because it is better to count on French women than on French men to vibrate this season, we will meet at 12:15 p.m.
