description: "Just in time for the start of the men's pursuit, the sun returned to the ARENA am Rennsteig, while the 60 starters gathered at the four start corridors in front of a sold-out arena. Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet started on the track with a 15-second lead, ahead of his two teammates Fabien Claude and Emilien Jacquelin. The French trio had a clear goal after the sprint: to defend the podium. Initially, the three were also able to stay in the leading group."
