For the first time this season, the men's biathlon relay won.
The reigning world champion, the quartet must manage the post-Martin Fourcade, which takes time.
But this Friday, with a small tactical change, France shone at Oberhof.
Launched by Simon Desthieux, continued by Quentin Fillon-Maillet and Fabien Claude, the French relay was perfectly concluded by Emilien Jacquelin, despite the threat from Norway and Johannes Boe.
In the end, the Blues won with 4''2 ahead of Norway and more than a minute over Italy.
