The first heat of the giant from Kranjska Gora qualifies only two blue (without Brignone in the race), but the Cuneo woman is third, one step away from Hector and Worley. His words in view of the second decisive (away at 12.30).

Marta Bassino in front, also playing the possible trio on that Podkoren who crowned her twice in 2021.
A very particular first half of the race, for the fifth seasonal giant staged in Kranjska Gora, with many entries from behind and many big players in difficulty, just think of Shiffrin, Vlhova and Gut-Behrami who sail in the top 15 area with a second and means to be recovered from Sara Hector.
At 23 cents from the Swede, also preceded by Tessa Worley, here is “Bax”, who starts with the '1 and seems to suffer on the disconnections, but in reality brings home a more than good heat. “You didn't have the right sensations going down - Marta confirmed to Rai Sport after her test - I think she'll score a bit for the second one, it will be challenging, but for now at least the result is good”.
If Elena Curtoni was really good at finishing 19th, at 1 ”55 from the top, Sofia Goggia suffered a lot, in the end only 31st and excluded by 13 cents from the 2nd heat. Heavy points left for the World Cup dream, even if the current placement of Shiffrin and Vlhova can somehow "save" the rider from Bergamo, waiting to understand what will happen in the 2nd heat, starting at 12.30 on the design of the coach of Lara Gut-Behrami, where we will not even see Insam, Ghisalberti, Melesi and Midali, well out of thirty in a race where, in terms of overall team result, the absence of Federica Brignone clearly weighs too.
