Cross-Country Skiing: Hugo Lapalus Avoids the Virus and Earns a New Podium on the Tour de Ski

Hugo Lapalus successfully navigated through viruses and race challenges to clinch his second consecutive podium during the Tour de Ski. Despite a tough race finishing fourth in the steep mountain finale at Alpe Cermis, Lapalus secured an overall third place, confirming his consistent performance in high-level competitions.

The leader of the French team reported feeling unwell towards the end of the Tour, joking about his deteriorating health during a phone conversation shortly after the race. Just hours prior, he had solidified his standing with a strong performance that exemplified his endurance and resilience throughout the ten-day event.

Lapalus's achievement not only enhances his credentials but also represents a significant milestone for the French team as they aim for greater success in future competitions. His next goal will be to build on this momentum and aim for medals at the upcoming World Championships.
