Raphael Poiree still running
Raphael Poiree is now running mass-start marathon and world loppet
races. He announced his participation to the french Transjurassienne, Feb 10th. He just finished 2nd at today's Foulée Blanche http://www.lafouleeblanche.com/ and 2nd last week and the Bessans marathon http://www.bessans.com/marathon_index.htm just behind Vincent Vittoz. Not bad for a former 15km/biathlon guy. Worth to notice results of Loic Vandel 10th at the Foulée Blanche, racing on skis he's building with his brother and father in their small factory. I'd like to do that, build my own skis and race on them. http://www.ski-vandel.com/ |

Mathias Fredriksson, who also quit the Tour de Ski, is also doing Worldloppet races this winter, with his eyes on the Marcialonga and the Vasaloppet. Is it a fluke that so many top-level racers are jumping from the World Cup to the Worldloppet? |

Raphael Poiree still running
Is it a fluke that so many top-level
racers are jumping from the World Cup to the Worldloppet? But look that most of them are racers who are near end of their careers or like Estil, Alsgaard, Daehlie oficially retired. Fredriksson also isn't so big star as few years ago but I think that it's good for Worldloppet that famous racers start in that races. In the past many stars decided to start in marathon races - Lundbaek, Pierrat, Ottoson, but usually when they were in mid-thirties. Before World Cup started, most of biggest stars compete on marathon races, but when World Cup was invited they usually compete only in World Cup and eventually jumped to Worldloppet when they were near end of their careers, now situaition is similar. Sorry for not perfect english. |
