Frankreich mit Fabien Claude, Quentin Fillon Maillet, Eric Perrot und Emilien Jacquelin siegt in der Herrenstaffel über 4 x 7,5km in Hochfilzen. Es war ihr erster Sieg in diesem Stadion. Die Top 3 spiegelte das Ergebnis von vor zwei Wochen in Kontiolahti wider: Norwegen belegte Platz zwei, Schweden Rang drei.
It has not been the easiest season for the French men, with their protagonists Quentin Fillon Maillet and Emilien Jacquelin struggling for much of the first half of the season. Fillon Maillet rediscovered his best shape just in time for the World Championships in Nove Mesto and Jacquelin started moving closer to the top again. Once the BMW IBU World Cup Tour moved overseas to Soldier Hollow and Canmore, the 28-year-old returned to the podium.
