One day after finishing seventh over 10 kilometers in classic style, the Isny native crossed the finish line on New Year’s Day 1:05.5 minutes behind the winner Harald Oestberg Amundsen from Norway in the 20-kilometer pursuit competition in free style.
Before the rest day on Tuesday, Amundsen took over the overall leader’s golden jersey from his teammate Erik Valnes, who won on New Year’s Eve. A free-style sprint is on the program in Davos on Wednesday.
Moch once again delivered a courageous race in the chasing group, was very active and earned sixth place. Lucas Bögl also showed strong, moving up from 30th to 13th place. Florian Notz finished the race in 23rd place.
