There will be 98 skiers on the starting line for Saturday’s 15-kilometer Men's classic World Cup opener in Gallivare, Sweden. Rene Sommerfeldt of Germany is in the driver’s seat with bib number 98. Kris Freeman will start 77th and Carl Swenson 64th.
The start order in World Cup races are no longer decided through a pre-race drawing, but decided based upon previous race results/FIS points. The one with the lowest points, which has skied the fastest will start last, while the second fastest skier will start second to last and so on. Marit Bjorgen won the Düsseldorf sprint race and is for that reason the current World Cup leader and has the lowest points. She starts last. Wendy Wagner is 24th and Sara Renner 50th.
