Norway's Jens Luraas Oftebro placed third after posting a 101m jump for 135.1 points.

Lamparter was superb on the cross-country skis and managed to keep the chasing pack of Frenzel and his compatriot Vinzenz Geiger, as well as Oftebro and Austria's Mario Seidl, at a distance as they lost two seconds on Lamparter in the first 2.5 km.

The Austrian had developed an insurmountable lead going into the final lap, crossing the line in 25min 49.8sec.

Riiber was absent from the event in Italy.

Geiger, on 430 points, completes the top three.
