Tarjei Boe creates a surprise on the mass start of Grand-Bornand, the French far from the mark

As for the Blues, despite a still very present audience, the results did not live up to expectations. Author of a good end of the race, notably thanks to good health on the skis, Fabien Claude signs the best result (9th at 37'', 3 faults) a few places ahead of Éric Perrot (11th at 53''9, 2 faults ). Disappointing behind the rifle, Émilien Jacquelin (16th at 1'36''6, 4 faults) and Quentin Fillon Maillet (18th at 1'40, 5 faults) finished much further back.
