In una giornata fortemente ventosa, grande battaglia nella 15km in tecnica libera di Valdidentro, con un bel duello fra le seconde scelte di Germania e Francia a giocarsi la vittoria in un ristrettissimo margine di 4"2. Alla fine la vittoria è andata ad Andreas Katz sul connazionale Thomas Bing di 2"6. 

Il podio è stato completato dal combinatista transalpino Hugo Buffard con distacco di 3"1. Per rendere l'idea, uno che nelle gundersen della combinata viene quasi sempre battuto da Alessandro Pittin. Il compagno Gerard Agnellet ha chiuso 4° a 4"2, mentre il polacco Dominik Bury è arrivato 5°, attardato di 12"8.

Era in palio anche l'assegnazione del titolo italiano, ma gli azzurri non sono stati mai protagonisti per la vittoria assoluta. Si sono salvati Stefano Gardener, diventato campione, giunto 6° assoluto a 24"5, e Claudio Muller, 7° a 34"1, argento con una gara di livello rispetto alle prestazioni delle passate settimane. Il bronzo è andato a Manuel Perotti, 16° in assoluto a 1'02.

Non convincono per niente le prestazioni degli altri italiani in cerca di un posto per il Tour de Ski. Domani sarà in programma una prova d'appello con la 15km in tecnica classica con partenza in linea.
