A temple like Podkoren, which the organization saved with enormous work, despite the high temperatures, for the first two giants of the women's CDM in 2023, the fifth and sixth of the season between Saturday and Sunday (with 1st heat always at 9.30 and the 2nd at 12.30) in Kranjska Gora. The most eagerly awaited woman is Marta Bassino, who will also appear wearing a red bib at this crucial double appointment, which the Cuneo area conquered entirely in 2021, with two triumphs within 24 hours, then climbing again on the podium last year on the day of Sara Hector's triumph. The leader of the giant will lead a team that will also count on Federica Brignone, who yesterday after the last training session at Zoncolan spoke to the microphones of Rai Sport, explaining that "I want the 50th podium in the World Cup and don't stop at that, I know that if I put the two heats together I can stay there”, on Roberta Melesi, Asja Zenere, Elisa Platino and the South Tyrolean debutant Laura Steinmair. On the other hand, Laura Pirovano, initially registered, will not be there, who has decided to continue training downhill in view of the next stage in St. Anton. "In these days we have prepared well on the Zoncolan - Bassino tells fisi.org, she who is back from six consecutive podiums in the specialty, four out of four this season with the pearl of success in Sestriere - The Kranjska Gora track has given great satisfaction in recent years and adapts to my characteristics. However, each race has its own story and you have to face it with the utmost concentration. Saturday will be two very competitive heats, with many pretenders to success. As usual, the will to win will make the difference, I'll go on the attack without making too many calculations”.
