JT Boe Doubles Up with Hochfilzen Pursuit Win
Norway’s Johannes Thingnes Boe regained control of this afternoon’s Hochfilzen Men’s 12.5 km Pursuit in the last loop after penalties in the standing stages dropped him from the lead. Moving back to the front in the final kilometer, the Norwegian cruised to a 32:16.5 victory for a Hochfilzen Sprint/Pursuit double.
JT, “I can say sorry. It was a fight”
JT explained what happened when Emilien Jacquelin fell on the last uphill. “It was an incredible fight. You know, when you are in a race incident, we are close; he was attacking. I was behind. I had his back and when I went on the right of him, he cut in on the right. So, I can say sorry. It was a fight, but he tried to get in front of me and I was already on the side. He fell; too bad, but it is how it is.”
France’s Jacquelin, up from 14th at the start, despite the fall, sprinted past Norway’s Sturla Holm Laegreid in the last 20 meters, taking second place, 3.5 seconds back. Laegreid finished third, 3.8 seconds back. Both Laegreid and Jacquelin had one penalty.
Sweden’s Sebastian Samuelsson, with three penalties, moved from sixth at the start to fourth, 47 seconds back. Norwegian teammates Martin Uldal and Vebjoern Soerum, finished fifth and sixth, each with three penalties, 47.6 and 50.1 seconds back.
