Cross-country skiing : time to say goodbye to Les Rousses already
All good things must (unfortunately) come to an end. This Sunday, the 20-kilometre classic mass-starts will bring the cross-country skiing world cup stage in Les Rousses (Jura) to a close. After two days of competitions, which have been well attended by the public, the athletes will be able to compete one last time in the Jura cauldron.
The ladies will be the first to take to the track at 11.20am. In the absence of Jessie Diggins, winner of the individual skate on Friday, Astrid Oeyre Slind, the big favourite in this event, will wear bib 1. The first French rider will be Flora Dolci in number 13. The Frenchwoman will be followed by her compatriots Cloé Pagnier, bib 24, Mélissa Gal, bib 27, Julie Pierrel, bib 31, Léonie Perry, bib 32, Juliette Ducordeau, bib 37, and Justine Gaillard, bib 40.
A few hours later, the men will get down to business from 3.45pm. Simen Hegstad Krueger will be there with number 1, just ahead of Hugo Lapalus from Haut-Savoie with number 2. Mathis Desloges will start with number 6, Jules Lapierre with number 18, Jules Chappaz with number 19, Richard Jouve with number 22, Rémi Bourdin with number 26, Sabin Coupat with number 37, Clément Parisse with number 41, Julien Arnaud with number 43, and Victor Cullet Calderini with number 49.
