A new event and a brand new format complete a historic double weekend in the Engadin Valley.
One of the most beloved destinations in cross-country skiing, the Engadin Valley needs little introduction — and it can only benefit from hosting one more race. The day after Engadin La Diagonela, the action continues with a brand new Sprint event: a mass start race on a short, flat course where both Champion and Sprint Competition points are up for grabs at the finish line.
Will it be a tactical waiting game, with a peloton holding its breath before a frantic sprint finish? Or will nerves take over early, with attacks and breakaways lighting up the course from the gun? With fresh bodies unlikely after the previous day's 55km classic, the dynamic promises to be fascinating.
