After pushing Therese Johaug in Lahti this weekend, Ebba Andersson has dominated in the U23 World Cup in Germany. In today's 15 km mass start, Andersson took command immediately and never let go. After half the race, the 22-year-old led by 17 seconds down to the Frenchman Flora Dolci and in goal the Swede came in 37 seconds ahead of the second Moa Lundgren.
A more exciting fight was fought just behind Ebba Andersson. Emma Ribom and Moa Lundgren went strong but French Flora Dolci refused to let go. It was at most two seconds between the three riders until the end of the race. With 700 meters left, the two Swedes stuck and then the orks hit Dolci. Moa Lundgren proved stronger than teammate Ribom and was eight seconds ahead of the finish.
