Palzer, Lenzi and Laetitia Roux star in a surprise outcome at Font Blanca 2017
The Font Blanca 2017 (FB’17) Individual Race, that has been again this year the initial event of the SkiMo World Cup, had the young german skier Anton Palzer as the unexpected winner, surpassing clearly the, in principle, favourites to be on the podium for the Senior Men category. Among women, Laetitia Roux has not let anyone surprise her and got the win she couldn’t fight for last year because of a lingering injury. The weather kept the Race Organizing Committee in suspense until the last moment. The severe weather conditions that punished the race stage forced them to do small last minute changes, always keeping the base of a very alpine track, that has been praised later on by the racers as well as by those who have followed, live on-site, the development of the race at the Vallnord-Arcalis ski resort.
