Only two Italians qualified in the third giant of the season, but the Cuneo and Aosta Valley are there, a stone's throw from the podium that they will attack in the 2nd heat starting at 13.00. Their words.

Bassino and Brignone in full race for the podium, but also a Mikaela Shiffrin who made a big difference, starting with the number 1 just before the Azzurri, in the opening heat of the giant-1 of Semmering.
We will only see two Italians, in the 2nd heat right on the US track, starting at 13.00, given that already for Asja Zenere with the n° 40 it was very complicated and the 32nd time trial leaves a lot of regrets, with Melesi, Platinum, Pirovano and the debutant Belfrond even further away.
The specialty leader is fifth, 87 cents behind Shiffrin but just 15 behind Vlhova's second place: Bassino, however, said she was not too satisfied with her heat speaking to the microphones of Rai Sport. "I didn't see Mikaela, but I see that we took a lot right away - he explains in the interview with his colleague Simone Benzoni - It was difficult, you felt that your feet were moving a lot and you have to keep your supports strong, pushing more".
"The upper part, here in Semmering, has always been my worry - explained Brignone instead, 7th at + 0"98 and practically with a second gap shortly after entering the long final wall, before remaining in line with Shiffrin – I have to go straighter and push in the 2nd heat, because where there is no speed I still struggle to create any. For the rest I found myself at ease, we are all close and we can do well".
