The startlist of the new speed event scheduled on Saturday (10.15) on the "Marc Girardelli". Eight blue in the race without Goggia, with 31 still paying attention to Vlhova ...

New schedule, with scheduled departure at 10.15 am Italian (30 minutes later than today) to prevent the race from being affected by visibility, a completely reversed startlist and a heavy absence like that of Sofia Goggia.
The second descent of Bansko, fifth specialty event in season, looks like a new big challenge on Saturday between Mikaela Shiffrin, winner in race 1 on the terrible "Marc Girardelli", a Federica Brignone in a state of grace and ready to go also on the assault of his first success downhill after the second podium, but also the same Petra Vlhova who touched the blow finishing sixth after a serious mistake in the final, and a series of athletes looking for redemption, starting from Austrian army that will find Nicole Schmidhofer (and today saw Anna Veith, at the first descent of the season, return in the 15).
There will be many blue to try again for the podium, such as Marta Bassino (fifth in race 1 and the best career descent) that in the draw of even numbers was not very lucky, fishing the 4 immediately after Haehlen and Ledecka (2 and 3 ) and just before the descent of Mikaela Shiffrin, who in turn was essentially forced to choose the 5 (by eighth in the specialty WCSL).
Of course, the light effect should affect less with the time variation, but starting later will still be favorable and in this sense the 20 caught by Federica Brignone is very good. In the middle, here is Nicol Delago with 7 and Francesca Marsaglia with 8, before the blockade of Austrians that goes from Siebenhofer 11 to poker Venier-Tippler-Schmidhofer-Puchner expected from 15 to 18. If Elena Curtoni, splendid fourth today, will have the number 28, maximum attention again in Petra Vlhova, on track with the 31.
To complete the Italy block with eight athletes at the start, after the forfeit announced by Sofia Goggia who will try to recover for the super-g, here is Nadia Delago with 34, Laura Pirovano (11th today, again improved her top downhill) with 42 and Verena Gasslitter still looking for some punticino with 48.
