Hugo Lapalus brings a new podium to the French team thanks to his third place during the Davos 20 km

Starting with big ambitions, and supported by his fan club – the aptly named “Team Farté” – present in Switzerland, Lapalus made a big start, putting himself on par with the big names in the discipline. Comfortable on the climbs, the 26-year-old skier lost a little time on the flats, but managed to finish his race well. This Sunday he grabs the first podium of his career in this race format. He had already finished third during the climb of Alpe Cermis (Italy) on January 7 during the Tour du ski. His first World Cup podium.
