Waiting for surprises: Rybinsk coming up!
With many of the top names missing – especially in the men’s class – we have very open races in Rybinsk this weekend. With the current temperatures, it might even be open if there are any races at all…
Add to that that there are very few 15 km/10km Free Mass start races in the World Cup.
- Set up your XC-Predictions for the 10/15 km Free race in Rybinsk here by Saturday 11:15 CET
- Set up your XC-Predictions for Sunday’s Skiathlon here by Sunday 09:30 CET
In the tables below relevant results from earlier races are shown. It is evident that of the men who have placed Top 10 in 15 km Free Mass start the last seasons, only a small percentage of them are on the start list in the 15 km here in Rybinsk.
As always in Rybinsk (see a table for Rybinsk results further down), expect some Russians to be in the top – both the high profile ones like Legkov, Vylegzhanin and Sedov – but also less well-known skiers on the local quota. In addition to the Russians, Maurice Manificat (FRA) and Roland Clara (ITA) should be counted among the top favourites.
In the women’s class, the situation is quite different. Most of the top names are on the startlist, and we expect again a fight between Marit Bjørgen (NOR) and Justyna Kowalczyk (POL) where Bjørgen will try to take back the overall World Cup lead. It will not be an easy job though, as the Polish skier has shown impressive shape lately while Bjørgen was ill during the Norwegian Championships last weekend.
Other favourites in the women’s class are Charlotte Kalla (SWE) and the other Norwegian skiers Skofterud, Johaug and Kristoffersen. Also count in Russian Khazova with the home ground advantage.
Relevant results
Since there are very few 15 km / 10 km Free Mass start races in the World Cup, the number of races included in the tables this time are increased. This time all 10/15 km Free races and all Mass start free races except for the 30 km/50 km ones are included.
