Werner Heel third in the first of the two European Cup Kvitfjell descents

Fifth podium in the European Cup, all downhill, and second seasonal, for Werner Heel who finished third in the first of the two descents of Kvitfjell.

Here the complete result of the race! Here the European Men's Cup rankings! On one of his favorite tracks, where he won in 2008 and finished three more times on the podium between downhill and super-G, the 35-year-old from San Leonardo in Passiria has suffered a delay of only 5 cents from the winner, the Norwegian Adrian Smiseth Sejersted, second success in the European Cup after that of Sarentino twelve days ago in a descent where Heel was second. Werner also leaps to the top of the list of specialties. Today's place of honor went to the Swiss Uri Kryenbühl, who was 4 cents away. Fourth to 6 cents the Austrian Daniel Hemetsberger, fifth the Swedish Felix Monsen, the sixth Austrian Johannes Kröll, the seventh Norwegian Stian Saugestad, from the eighth to eleventh place in the order the Austrians Christopher Neumayer, Christoph Krenn, Stefan Babinsky and Omar Striedinger, twelfth the Swiss Nils Mani and gradually all the others. So the other blues: thirteenth Matteo Marsaglia, thirty-third Mattia Casse, thirty-four Florian Schieder, thirty-fifth Davide Cazzaniga, thirty-seventh Dominik Züch, forty-fourth Matteo Vaghi, fifty-third Pietro Zazzi, fifty-fourth Alexander Prast, sixty-first Matteo De Vettori, sixty-third Nicolò Molteni (ex-aequo with the Swiss Ian Gut, Lara's little brother). Tomorrow descent bis.
