VIDEO. The final stretch for the story of Martin Fourcade

It is an image as strong as it is symbolic. Martin Fourcade crosses the line, alone, almost in slow motion, raising his arms. He turns around and sees the next generation coming behind him. 100% French podium. For the last race of his career, Fourcade won the pursuit of Kontiolahti ahead of Quentin Fillon Maillet and Emilien Jacquelin, at the end of a race made crazy by the wind. Here are the last moments of this race and therefore the last straight line of his career.

Martin Fourcade wins as patron the last race of his career with a French hat-trick! 🇫🇷💪

Johannes Boe finished fourth in the race, enough to win the big crystal globe.
