A key race, for the classification of specialties and perhaps also for the general of the World Cup, considering that we will not see Mikaela Shiffrin competing in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, not even Sunday in the super-g. Saturday (start at 11.30) the sixth descent of the Women's World Cup season opens to a thousand scenarios, on the "Kandahar" that the girls have tested only today, in the only training that has been possible. The conditions in Bavaria are still quite good and the race promises to be very interesting, starting from the attack by Federica Brignone to another podium and, who knows, maybe even the first victory in this discipline. The Aosta Valley perhaps did not draw the ideal bib in the afternoon draw, since it will have the 2nd and few references; at the same time, there is still a lot of humidity and, having to choose, a number like 16, 18 or 20 would have been probably worse. Ramona Siebenhofer will exit the starting gate just before Fede, today a great 3rd time in practice, immediately after the athlete who could be considered the favorite, not so much for today's best time trial but for its continuity throughout the '' span of the season and good adaptation to this track. We are talking about Corinne Suter, specialty leader and bib number 3, preceding Haehlen, Venier (attention to the Austrian winner here 12 months ago), with Schmidhofer waiting to launch a signal of awakening like Viktoria Rebensburg, n Â° 8 and very fast on trial. Stuhec will have the 11, Vlhova has drawn the 14 (but does not seem too competitive in this type of descent) and Ledecka has chosen the 15, among the other blue. Yes, because with the 13 Nicol Delago will start, then almost in series here is the 16 of Francesca Marsaglia, the 17 of a Sofia Goggia here always on the podium in the last four races disputed, but today in difficulty in training, and then Elena Curtoni with the 19 and Marta Bassino with 20. Out of 30 (first attention especially to Nina Ortlieb with 26, but there is also Tina Weirather with 24), Nadia Delago with 35, Laura Pirovano with 38 and Verena Gasslitter penultimate at the start with No. 50.
