Biathlon: end of FFS selections in Bessans this Tuesday
After a one-day break, the FFS biathlon selections in Bessans (Savoie) come to a close this Tuesday with a second sprint.
As on Saturday, it’s the men who kick off the hostilities at 9.50am, followed by the women at 10.20am.
Doubiste rider Lou Jeanmonnot, who missed the weekend’s races due to a slight illness, will be taking part this time… unlike her team-mates Océane Michelon, Jeanne Richard and Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, who have returned home.
