There is no shortage of rivals, but Goggia is already a leader in "his" Cortina: 1st super test for Brignone

On the Olympia delle Tofane the Bergamo rider with the red bib leads, already dreaming of Saturday's descent: Siebenhofer very fast up to Rumerlo and only 2 tenths, then the Aosta Valley in stellar condition.

Acciaccata yes, even if yesterday she reassured herself about her condition four days after the fall of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, and with a great desire to find Cortina 4 years after that first career red bib she won by beating Vonn and Shiffrin on the Olympia delle Tofane, since he then lost the 2019 races and the 2021 World Championships due to injury. Sofia Goggia is there and immediately signs the best time in the first of the two scheduled tests, towards the fifth seasonal descent that we will see on Saturday in the shadow of the wonderful scenery of the Dolomites. Starting with bib number 1, the Olympic champion is two tenths ahead of the one who won the last CdM descents held in Cortina three years ago, that is Ramona Siebenhofer, practically leading up to Rumerlo. The Austrian will be a rival for the race, also considering what was done at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, but in the Azzurri home you can smile all right for the third time trial of an amazing Federica Brignone in the central corners of the Scarpadon area, but fast also in the final sliding stretch to close just 33 cents from your teammate. The return of Breezy Johnson is good, fourth at + 0 "66 ahead of two other women expected for the weekend, namely Lara Gut-Behrami (5 ^ a + 0" 80) and Ester Ledecka (6 ^ a + 0 ”82), which concede many tenths to Goggia by not pushing in the final twenty seconds after Rumerlo, but are very dangerous. Just above the second from the leader, we find in very few cents Mowinckel, Gauche (who seems fast here too and continues to grow), the other Austrians Tippler and Scheyer up to Corinne Suter, who pays 1 ”14.
