The twenty-four of Altenberg, quest''oggi & egrave; was impeccable tackling the difficult curves that characterize the middle and end of the route of Saxony. Walther with the valuable contribution of brakemen Bredau, Huebenbecker and Pos & egrave; managed to defend himself in the starting phase marking the same split of the big favorites Melbardis and Friedrich, and the Omega forward started to attack by drawing lines to the limit of perfection, which allowed him to close the first half leading the standings.
In the final round, the junior world champion has made the most of the mistakes made in the previous day where he did take the weight is excessively dell''impresa, and even playing a round less clean than the initial & egrave; still managed to get the first win of his career. Walther celebrates cos & Igrave; a two-day dream in front of their fans, winning in just 24 hours the first podium and first win in the World Cup.

Race to forget for the 'ex-leader Cup Maximilian Arndt, who & egrave; reversed during the first descent. The world champion of the specialty & agrave; was traveling on record time that would allow him to close up against Walther if not before. But the German driver approached a curve by taking the bank too high and during descent is the bob & egrave; lying on the right side crawling on the ice until the finish. Arndt despite the rollover would close the first fraction in eighteenth place to demonstrate what was going strong.
Sixteenth position for the 'single blue bob at the start, led the race from Simone Bertazzo and brakeman Constantine Ughi, Marco Rosa and Francisco Costa. The Italian team as now happens for four years now continues to complain about a huge disadvantage in the boost phase, a burden difficult to recover even drawing lines in the perfect tour of the track. The proof of the blues anyway & egrave; was all''altezza of expectations among the eve, and as reiterated pi & ugrave; times this season to be judged as a transition year to try to lay the foundation for years to come. & nbsp;
