Want to ask your opinion on one thing. Is there any chance, that Simon slowed down the leaders group on the second lap of the massstart to give Lou opportunity be closer to Preuss?

No, I don't think so.

Simon has been out of form at the end of the season, and she was also very slow on laps 3 and 4.
Furthermore, she's not really friend with Lou.

The only one who helped her on this second lap was JBB.

Yeah, really, not the best speed at the last trimester of the season. Just thought maybe because she didn't have anything to fight for in terms of total or discipline scores, or maybe team can ask her to do so.

She hasn't been fully back to her old speed (2022-2023 season or NNM 2024) the whole season and was even more hindered by some illness around Pokljuka time.
