Hello and welcome to LIVE LIVE for the second stage of the Tour de Ski, valid for the Cross-Country Skiing World Cup scheduled in Val Müstair, Switzerland: today, Saturday 2 January, two mass starts in classic technique are scheduled, the women’s 10 km scheduled at 12.30 and the men’s 15 km starting at 14.45.
In home Italy, after yesterday’s triumph in the men’s sprint by Federico Pellegrino, at the third success of the season in the World Cup, the lights are on Francesco de Fabiani that yesterday, in the free technique sprint, he convinced only in flashes by closing his adventure in the quarter-finals and today he is called upon to send an important signal in one of the races he prefers for distance, technique and format. I’m fourteen blues competing: they will be of the match between men Federico Pellegrino, who will keep us doing well also in the distance race, Francesco De Fabiani, Michael Hellweger, Davide Graz, Mirco Bertolina, Giandomenico Salvadori and Paolo Ventura and among the women Lucia Scardoni, Greta Laurent, Francesca Franchi, Elisa Brocard, Ilaria Debertolis, Anna Comarella and Martina Di Centa.
In the men’s field, the big favorites are the Russians with Bolshunov and Melnichenko in great shape but also pay attention to Maltsev and to the British Musgrave who, however, did not shine yesterday as in the first part of the season. Swedes, French and Finns can play the role of outsiders but there is a risk of a Russian monologue. Russia, with Nepryaeva, Stupak and Sorina, protagonist also among women but here it is the Swedish contingent to be the master with Karlsson appeared in great shape yesterday, Andersson who will want to make up after the flop in the sprint, Dahlqvist, Sundling and Ribom. Also beware of Americans with Brennan e Diggins, yesterday on the podium, who want to play a leading role.
