Whatever happens in the race, Saturday 26 October, the day of the first round of the World Cup from 2013 to 2014 in Soelden, Austria, at least the Italian girls have been able to "test" the race track one week before the big event , this situation has never occurred in recent years. Also today, in fact, it happened to Nadia Fanchini and Federica Brignone, accompanied by Raimund Plancker, try on the course after leaving early withdrawal on the snows of Hintertux, also in Austria. Being engaged tomorrow with the delivery of Audi, in Madonna di Campiglio, the two blue gigantiste are still unable to "open" a window on the Rettenbach. These are their feelings: Federica Brignone: "We tested the track with the athletes'' s Swiss and Austrian Fenninger, it was definitely a good workout, useful. Last night, however, it snowed again in SÃ¶lden, then the mantle on the track was quite soft in the first and in the last section'','' a little more compact sula central wall. Gigante almost complete, and the minute: As for me, I felt pretty good just a ride, the others are gone ... so-so. It's still hard to take risks, for now. Moreover, I pretty much skipped the whole of last season and it is not so easy to come back. Though technically would be improved, I'm still missing something and I do not know exactly what . Anyway positive experience than today, useful, I also enjoyed it so away every negative thought ... ". Nadia Fanchini: "For us a good opportunity, certainly, because there had never happened in the past. Then I do not know if this" test "will change or not the result of Saturday 26, but it was very useful, moreover, we measured over a distance of 1'' 05'''', then only the shortest of 6 -7'''''''' than the race itself. course, the snow was really soft, I hope that is decidedly different in nine days. abbastana effort I have made, I am not happy with how I skied today, but never mind. do not think I pulled quite 100%, I was not exactly comfortable. I still can not express myself at best. well I definitely saw Anna Fenninger and Lara Gut, are already in good shape, skied well and have also pulled the whole. However, it may be that the conditions are very different tomorrow for our companions, who could then find a mantle harder, I hope so for them. " Now Madonna di Campiglio for Nadia and Federica, while the whole group will return to blue female SÃ¶lden already on Monday to prepare for the race on Saturday 26th October.
