Good morning and welcome to day 9
The morning finds Chrigel Maurer in the Tyrol region of Italy near Bolzano, still with a 160km lead over his closest competitors and only 160km to go until Zell am See. Max Pinot (FRA1) used his night pass to move up to second position. He and Benoît Outters (FRA2) have been hiking together in Locarno, Switzerland, with Simone Oberrauner (AUT2) and Patrick Von Känel (SUI2) just a few kilometres behind them.
