He had already commanded in the middle of the race, for the first time in his career, that great day in Killington where he arrived, on time, the first and so far only success in the World Cup.
Marta Bassino is back in front of everyone in the opening in Soelden, digging a real groove with all the rivals, with the exception of a Federica Brignone who holds up the comparison with her partner and closes second, with 58 cents from detachment to look for what it would be an encore after the 2015 triumph.
The third hurray of an Italian gigantist on the Rettenbach seems very close, but to Rai microphones the same 24-year-old from Cuneo is not unbalanced and seems very serene and already focused on the 2nd heat, scheduled at 13.00. "I felt good sensations right from the start, I knew I was skiing well in training, but I'm happy to have confirmed it in the race - Marta's first words - Now you need to keep your concentration for the second".
Federica Brignone was also very satisfied, not too satisfied with the pre Soelden training in Val Senales. "It was not easy to break the ice on such a track and after a long time - the analysis of the crystal ball holder both absolute and in the discipline - I did not feel well the supports until the long end at the end of the wall, but in general I am happy with the result. I knew that Marta would be a good reference, given her level in training. The high gaps of Vlhova and Worley? I don't think it matters much, this is a particular race and Petra usually gets in shape from December, while I think Tessa has something wrong. There is time to recover in the coming weeks, in the meantime let's think about the second heat which will be similar to the first, since Daniele (Simoncelli, the blue technician) will not be able to vary much with only a clean race track. It should be fine with us ... ".
And then there is an excellent Sofia Goggia, 8th with bib 16 (even if the track has held up well, with a very good base despite the snow) even if with some complaints. "I was a bit impetuous, I saw little on the wall and I lay down on some doors - explains the Bergamo-born in the Rai house - I was saved and I hope to be able to give my best in the second, but I'm happy to see Bassino and Brignone there in front of. They are the reference of the world giant and there is only to learn with them ". Words that are anything but trivial.
