Holcomb teamed with its historic brakeman Steven Langton was not the best in the boost phase, but it has made a difference in the most technical of the gut of the state of New York. The pilot stars and stripes used his incredible knowledge of the track drawing perfect lines that have allowed him to grasp the third consecutive start of this World Cup.
Located in Lake Placid Holcomb is virtually unbeatable, in fact, on this track the pilot of Park City are unbeaten in three seasons. The success of today allows the American bobsledder to get to the first European event of the season with a good advantage against the main opponents and consequently is indicated as the number one favorite for the final victory of the crystal ball. However, we must not forget that in the last edition of the World Cup, the same Holcomb after the amazing start to the season had ended the season empty-handed.
The race today was characterized by large detachments, which had not occurred in the previous two rounds.
Behind'' s American ace was placed Beat Hefti. '' The Swiss was brilliant at the start but against a well Holcomb could not do better, in fact it was also lucky to maintain the position, given that Nick Cunningham, author of a superb second run, it was , placed third with a single penny from Hefti.
The extraordinary day stars and stripes was completed by the fourth Cory Butner that allowed the United States to dominate the manifestation of the house by placing three teams in the top four places in the final standings.
The top five was completed by Alexander Zubkov which closed at 92 cents by the winner. Behind the Russian has finished his test Thomas Florschuetz the best performance of the year'', ahead of 15 cents compatriot Francesco Friedrich disappointment of the first round.
Continue the negative moment of Simone Bertazzo (pictured). The'' blue to the third official engagement on board the new Ferrari bob-cones continues to stay in the back and at the time the much desired performance improvements are slow to arrive. We hope that after the Christmas break in the first European event the pilot of Pieve di Cadore and his team are able to make sense of this season.
This afternoon from 14.30 will stage a second race on the same gut.
