The second giant on the "Podkoren" sees the American in front, but the Aosta Valley and the Canadian are perfectly in the running. Bassino is more than 7 tenths behind, followed by Gut-Behrami, Hector and Vlhova.

Three women who have made a big difference over all the others, and a Mikaela Shiffrin in command after the first heat of the giant number 2 of Kranjska Gora, with the dream and the goal of obtaining that victory which would mean hooking up to 82 with Lindsey Vonn.
It won't be easy for the American champion, who however was really perfect, starting with a 1, and travels with a 24 cents margin compared to a Federica Brignone who hasn't changed her attitude compared to yesterday: "full attack" for the Aosta Valley , as certainly in the 2nd heat starting at 12.30, to look for the 50th podium and... who knows.
But what a good Valérie Grenier, who already finds important signs (more than in race-1) starting with number 10 and places a great finish to finish third, 39 cents from the top.
Marta Bassino, who came out of the gate second, was instead unable to interpret a fairly fast layout (of the Canadian brand) at best, but she is still fourth at + 0”73 and in full swing for the eighth consecutive top 3 Of course, the Cuneo-born will still have to put herself behind three champions like Lara Gut-Behrami, perhaps less brilliant than on Saturday and 4 cents behind Marta, Sara Hector who pays 85 cents from Shiffrin and Vlhova who is at 87, called at a ''another comeback.
Well done Paula Moltzan, 8th at 1"11, as well as Bucik who confirms himself and is ninth at 1"23, with Gasienica-Daniel in the top ten in the middle of the race, with 1"31 to recover.
