High temperatures, but an assured show for the third female World Cup giant, scheduled for Tuesday in the heart of Savoy, on the slopes of that Courchevel that last year saw Mikaela Shiffrin triumph (who also regulated all in slalom). To fight with the leader of the overall and red bib in the discipline, however, there will be at least 6-7 very high quality rivals, including Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino who are highly anticipated, after Killington's one-two in the last specialty race held over two weeks ago in Vermont. Appointment fixed at 10.30 for the 1st round, traced by the Norwegian Gfeller technician, with the second at 13.30 (both live on Raisport and Eurosport 1) by Shiffrin coach Mike Day. The starting numbers: the American champion will be the one to open the contest on the Stade Emile-Allais, followed by bib number 2 by Viktoria Rebensburg, with Holdener and Worley before the blue duo, given that Brignone will start with the 5th and Bassino with the 6, before Petra Vlhova in closing first sub-group. Certainly not lucky in the Alice Robinson draw, forced to start with the number 15 in a day that, given the conditions of the runway also announced by the same blue dt Gianluca Rulfi, could lead to a rapid deterioration of the mantle. Eight the Italians in the race: Irene Curtoni will have the number 29, Sofia Goggia on the 31st thanks to the 500 points passed in the general WCSL, while Roberta Midali (52), Valentina Cillara Rossi will be back far behind in CdM after four years and at the gate of departure with 55, Francesca Marsaglia "relegated" to 56 and Laura Pirovano with 61.
