A new duel is expected, as a week ago in Crans-Montana when Petra Vlhova derailed, one step away from Federica Brignone who went on to take a huge hit in the Alpine combined in Switzerland.
Between Valle d'Aosta and Slovakia there are 189 points and it is clear that Fede must capitalize at most on his home weekend in La Thuile, and then defend himself in the last seven races of the season. Sunday will therefore be the third and final alpine combined time of the season, with super-g heats (shortened, around the minute of the race) at 11.15, tracked by the Swiss Capaul, and slalom at 14.15 on the design of Livio Magoni, who will try to put some traps to enhance the qualities of his Petra.
Vlhova drew the number 8 for the morning super-g and will start shortly after Brignone, at the start with the 5 and very close to the crystal ball in the discipline, since there are 75 points ahead of Holdener (a 10th place would be enough, too in the event of Swiss success). The target is obviously the heavy points for the general, given that the direct rival will then have the triptych of Are in his favor (more giant parallel slalom and slalom).
In a race that marks the new negative record of registered (only 34!), There are seven blue waits at the starting gate: Marta Bassino (bib number 15 in super-g) can aim decisively at the podium after the chance wasted in Crans-Montana , but also pay attention to Elena Curtoni and Laura Pirovano. In the race also Nicol Delago, who must try to find himself, his sister Nadia and Valentina Cillara Rossi.
