All there, for a descent scheduled for Saturday on the Karl Schranz, on the day of the return of the Women's World Cup in St. Anton, which promises to be really tight and spectacular. The second and last test towards the third specialty of the season, sees Ester Ledecka sign the best time trial, with only 4 cents on a still brilliant Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, but there is a lot of Italy in front of it ready to play it. Marta Bassino goes up again and places a third time trial (14 cents from the Czech) which says a lot about the possibilities of the Cuneo rider on such a technical track. Just two cents behind her Sofia Goggia, started with bib 1 and able to significantly lower the time of the first training, with a very fast final stretch. Nina Ortlieb will be very dangerous tomorrow, already third Thursday and today fifth, 24 cents from Ledecka like Ilka Stuhec herself, while we climb above 4 tenths to find the other Austrians Venier and Haaser, with Johnson ninth and Francesca Marsaglia completing the top ten of the day, only 65 cents from the summit. Top 15 instead for Federica Brignone, however at 72 cents after the 4th time placed in the first training, as well as the second, many expected protagonists who, in some cases, have definitely hidden themselves. Let's talk about Tamara Tippler, best time trial 24 hours ago and today at 1 "03, a cent better than Corinne Suter (who does not seem to be too comfortable on this slope anyway), then there is a Petra Vlhova who, at 1 ”14, he seems to be able to fight for a good placement, clearly aiming strongly on Sunday's super-g. Elena Curtoni and Laura Pirovano finished in the top 20 zone, respectively 1 "18 and 1" 26 behind, while Lara Gut-Behrami (yesterday ex aequo with Tippler) did not push too hard and finished at 1 "30. In difficulty, and does not seem to be able to solve the Karl Schranz puzzle so quickly, Michelle Gisin is still far away today (+ 1 "79), while the last two blue in the ranking are Nadia Delago, still discreet at 1" 56, and Roberta Melesi who paid 2 ”20. Tomorrow at 11.45 the start of the third World Cup downhill. CLASSIFICATION 2 ^ FEMALE DESCENT TEST ST.
