Notes
- β The third stage of the cup was originally supposed to be held in Brezno-Osrblie ( Slovakia ), but because of the weather the stage was moved to Hochfilzen ( Austria )
- β Initially, the schedule was an individual race, but due to the transfer of the stage to Hochfilzen, the organizers did not have time to prepare a longer track. Thus, at one stage, two men's sprint races took place.
- β Since the third stage was postponed due to weather conditions from Brezno-Osrblie to Hochfilzen, where the individual race was replaced by a sprint race, at the stage in Holmenkollen the sprint that was initially present in the schedule was replaced by an individual race, which served as the qualification for the pursuit race that followed
