Petra Vlhova prepares the parallel of Lech in Val Gardena. Magoni: "Lottery competition, but points are needed"

In addition to the ski and shoe, we also tried the stick for this PGS. What do I think of the race? It is like running an F1 in a kart track, among other things with the doors at 19 meters it doesn't make much sense to use giant skis. In fact, we have to score points even if I think we will risk a lottery ”. The Bergamo coach has a clear idea of the evolution that should have had the parallel, reduced to a single appointment for this World Cup season after the remodeling of the post Covid calendar: "A discipline born as an alternative to the get to town and bring people closer to our sport.
