Jens Burman was 22nd in yesterday's mass start in yesterday's classic mass start in French Les Rousses.

Tomorrow he starts the SM week, and thus knocks the World Cup competitions in Toblach next weekend.

- Yes, I have planned to drive the entire SM week.

But then it won't be Toblach for me, but instead it will be the SM, says Burman to SVT Sport. 

- There are slightly more fun competitions there.

It will be 15 km and three miles and a relay, I think it fits a little better.

Above all, the three-mile there will be a good rep, I think it will be more fun to compete in SM simply.

However, Burman will be the only one of the Swedish stars to participate in the SM.

- I understand that people prioritize the World Cup.

Then I think it is unfortunate that it has collided, that a solution has not been found where it is possible for everyone to run the SM.

It is important that the best riders are in Sweden and competing, it is unfortunate, he says.

- You have to think about how to plan that for the coming seasons.

Skiing SM is part of the SM week that is broadcast on SVT.

The first competition is Tuesday's sprint at 14.00 on SVT1.
