A crucial race, for the specialty cup but above all the fight for the absolute crystal ball. In La Thuile everything is ready, despite the unfavorable weather of the past few days, for the super-g that on Saturday (10.30 am the start) will open the two-day program that will bring the World Cup back to the Aosta Valley.
A particular weekend, for the story related to the Coronavirus that will condition the whole "outline" of the white circus in La Thuile, between ceremonies, public access and so on, but what matters for the hostess Federica Brignone, that presents itself as the leader of the general classification, is that between super-g and alpine combined there are two regular tests. The weather is worrying about the wind, but tomorrow you should take it home.
The track is by the German Fuerbeck, with Brignone at the start with the bib number 7 in a race that, as is known, will not see Mikaela Shifftin at the starting gate this time either; in the current state of things, the first rival of the Aosta Valley is now Petra Vlhova, 159 points away and regularly in the race after training well in the week in Foppolo, despite the problems with his left knee. The Slovakian drew the number 16.
In view of the specialty World Cup, given that this is the penultimate test before the finals of Cortina, Btignone goes hunting for the red bib of Corinne Suter, ahead of 39 points and leaving before the blue, given that the '' Helvetia took No. 5. A lot of Austria in the start, but attention to the newfound Lara Gut-Behrami (bib 9), as well as the return to the discipline of Tessa Worley, which will start with the 25 shortly after Gagnon, in race despite the fracture in his right hand remedied in Crans-Montana.
And in fight for the podium, on a slope as technical as that of the "3 Franco Berthod", a lot of Italy is expected in addition to Federica Brignone: nine overall the blue in the race, with Marsaglia (n ° 10), Nicol Delago (14 ), Bassino (17), Curtoni (20), Gasslitter with 32, Cillara Rossi (41), Pirovano with 47 and Nadia Delago for 48th at the start.
