Sunday (12.00 the start) the third round of speed in the Canton of Valais and of the specialty this season. Gut-Behrami (red bib) chooses 9, Ledecka (15) will grit his teeth, but the blue army is ready. And when he traces Feltrin ...

It will be the first two of the general classification of the World Cup to open the race, the last of the triptych on Mont Lachaux.
Super-g time in Crans-Montana, the third season after Val d''Isère (victory by Ledecka) and St. Anton (seal by Gut-Behrami), scheduled for Sunday at 12.00 (live on Eurosport and Rai Sport ): with Petra Vlhova first to open the starting gate, forced to take the bib number 1 by the specialty WCSL (and there is nothing to do, in this discipline it is always a disadvantage), while Michelle Gisin fished in the draw the 2.
After Sofia Goggia's double triumph, on Mont Lachaux there will be really many chances for Italjet (even today with five athletes in the top 15) in tomorrow's race, starting with Federica Brignone who will be the first of the eight blue at the start . The Aosta Valley has chosen number 5 and is looking for her first win of the season, she who has a great feeling with this track, especially when it comes to super-g, thinking about those played in the combined wins from 2017 to 2020. And be careful because it will be tracing Giovanni Feltrin, with whom the blue have an exceptional score in recent years.
Switzerland will try with Holdener (4), Suter (7), but above all Lara Gut-Behrami, leader of the specialties and at the start with the 9. From 13 to 19 maximum attention: Marta Bassino, who has targeted this race, will be back in the race sacrificing the descent, Ester Ledecka (bib 15) will grit her teeth after the blow suffered today, then Francesca Marsaglia and Sofia Goggia (17) to look for the first podium of the season also in this specialty and be really scary also in general.
Elena Curtoni (with 19) can dream big, back on the podium today but already second here in super-g in 2017, just as she can grow in super-g, even if she suffered more than the feeling found on the descent, a Laura Pirovano forced to number 29. Finally Roberta Melesi with 35 and Nadia Delago with 48, both in great shape and ready to get weighty placements.
Mikaela Shiffrin? As expected, she will not be there, but she has started training in speed again this weekend and, in view of the Cortina World Cup, we will see her in super-g already in combined, it is now a certainty.
