A race inevitably lame for the absences of injured mainly Lindsey Vonn, who presumably will be & agrave; on track in the & ldquo; his & rdquo; Lake Louise, Viktoria Rebensburg, who was also on track in Canada, and Anna Fenninger Veith, whose return date to the races & egrave; still unknown. C & rsquo; & egrave; then l & rsquo; absence became effective gi & agrave; from last season's Tina Maze, who yesterday officially announced his retirement from racing, leaving the possibility & agrave; to race in Maribor giant next January in front of his fans.
The favorites for tomorrow's race seem to be so Holder of specialty & agrave cup; Eva-Maria Brem and the first and the second of twelve months ago on the Rettenbach, Federica Brignone and Mikaela Shiffrin, with possible insertion of the victor in the general Cup Lara Gut, Tina Weirather, Nina L ø seth, Ana Drev, finally arrived in large the levels SCORA season after many difficult years, and because & eacute; no, Tessa Worley, who memorize options fails to return to what was before & rsquo; injury in slalom in Courchevel.
In this context must be brave to enter the Italian. Primarily Brignone, whose summer training are all very pleased she understood. Due to injuries, including that of & rsquo; other French Ta & IUML; na Barioz and Swedish Sara Hector, will start in the top 15 also Marta Bassino, which should start growing in continuity & agrave; performance, the untameable Manuela Moelgg, veteran of the team, Nadia Fanchini, back from a season below expectations, and Irene Curtoni, always very bad last winter but never really close to the podium.
L & rsquo; absence of Vonn is then up to the number 19 of the starting list sofia goggia, 20 Francesca Marsaglia and 22 Elena Curtoni, all three were relegated two positions in the starting list for tomorrow because & eacute; Kajsa Kling and & nbsp; Wendy Holdener have exceeded 500 points in the overall standings last dell''anno but little change. & Nbsp; Sofia, Frenci and Elena are still unfinished in some way although Giant least Goggia and Marsaglia were able to approach in some occasions the top ten.
In short, tomorrow the Italians have a & rsquo; d & rsquo occasion; gold, especially if the track will be & agrave; hard if you do not like the & rsquo; last year, at least in similar conditions. We do not claim that they arrive in nine in the first nine, absolutely, also because & eacute; the knee of the baby Laura Pirovano not sar & agrave; in the best conditions after the fall in Val Senales, but at least they do to see what we think they are able to do since the first race, where last winter too often been lacking before recovering positions in the second.
