16:40. This Thursday afternoon, the French staff revealed the composition of the French men’s relay team that will be lining up this Friday at the biathlon world cup in Ruhpolding (Germany).
At 2.20pm, Emilien Claude will start the race for France before handing over to his older brother Fabien Claude. Quentin Fillon-Maillet and Emilien Jacquelin will then finish the job.

It’s worth noting that Emilien Claude from Bassur, more than a year after his first race was prevented by illness in Östersund (Sweden), will be taking part in a World Cup relay for the first time in his career. A fitting reward for the man who finished second in the individual race.
Eric Perrot and Antonin Guigonnat, with two days to go before Sunday’s mass start, will therefore be resting.
