First heat with the dominant Cuneo, the first three of the general follow with an already not ... banal gap. Brignone beyond the second, but for the podium it can still be done.

He does not seem to struggle, even on terrible ice like that of an incredibly “glass” Podkoren, for the first heat of the giant number 1 of Kranjska Gora which confirms, once again, as the best specialist in circulation comes from Borgo San Dalmazzo.
Marta Bassino is splendid and in front of everyone (as on the occasion of the success of Soelden) in the middle of the race, waiting for a second thrilling heat and scheduled at 2.00 pm; in these track conditions there is really something to tremble, but the Cuneo woman hasn't made any mistakes, leaving only a little more than two tenths to Michelle Gisin, partial surprise of this first heat with the second place at 27 cents from the blue .
They are the first three of the general to follow Marta in the standings, given that in third and fourth place there are Petra Vlhova and Mikaela Shiffrin, respectively 51 and 54 cents away, not a few even if the second setting will be in the hands of Mike Day, the technician of the US. A heat that obviously made a great selection, from the exits of Holdener and Brunner, to the enormous difficulties of Robinson and Liensberger, passing through the gap that two expected women like Worley and Brignone must recover. The transalpine, who won here in 2012 right in front of the Aosta Valley, is fifth at 85 cents from Bassino, while Fede pays 1 ”04 and still showed some stability difficulties on a technical level, but for the podium it can be done.
The heats in defense, however, that of Sofia Goggia who pays 2 ”72 from the top, but should still remain well in the thirty.
