Blue feelings ... contrasting, after today's test of the descent of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which will see Brignone and companions as protagonists in the sixth seasonal appointment of the season. And just the Valle d'Aosta, third time in the only training on "Kandahar 1", is definitely satisfied: "It was a reassuring and useful test, because we only had one available - explains Fede - Garmisch has always been a track which brought me well, starting from the Junior World Championships with the combined gold up to the senior silver in giant, in 2011. My goal is above all the super-g on Sunday and, although overall it is not a track difficult from a technical point of view, it is tough and slams, with wet and hard snow. These are conditions with which I feel comfortable and start from a good base ". A little worried, however, Sofia Goggia, who concluded more than 3 seconds behind Corinne Suter: â€œThe test did not go so well, when you fall downhill it takes a little time to regain confidence and after Bansko this happened. Then I made a mistake after the plan and I preferred not to risk anymore: it is a track on which I collected four podiums, but in particular conditions. I hope the same thing happens on this occasion as well, or as 12 months ago returning from the injury. The pain in the tibia is decreasing and I use a smaller brace. " For Francesca Marsaglia, â€œGarmisch is a bit slower than we know it, but I think it can speed up the race. I had a good feeling, we will see on the video whether to change something ", while Elena Curtoni explains that" I always struggle in the approach to the tests, but in sectors I found myself well ". Finally Marta Bassino, who confirms the start also downhill, "on a track that seems easier, but I can be faster than today", and Nicol Delago back from a slight flu: "I missed my legs a little , I hope to be better for the races ", confided the Val Gardena after today's test ended at 3" 66 from the head.
