Now everything is really ready, after the official bib numbers for the first of the three fast races scheduled, for the historic debut of Val di Fassa in a World Cup event.
Friday, starting at 11.45 am (live TV on Eurosport and Rai Sport), appointment on the “La VolatA” track in Passo San Pellegrino for the restart of the top female circuit after the Cortina World Championships. Two crucial descents, before the super-g on Sunday, also for the specialty classification which, three races from the end, sees Sofia Goggia leading with 195 points of margin over Breezy Johnson and 210 over Corinne Suter. The problem is that the Bergamo rider is obviously in the pits after the Garmisch injury and above all the American is scary, also because she was second and first in practice between yesterday and today.
Johnson goes on the hunt for his first CdM victory and feels decidedly safe, so much so that he has opted for bib n ° 1 (being able to choose second) since the temperatures will be even higher than in the training sessions, held earlier than the time. of race. There is a fear that the mantle could be damaged, so much so that Corinne Suter (first to choose) and Lara Gut-Behrami will leave for fifth and seventh. Ramona Siebenhofer fished well, second today in practice and with bib number 2, while the first of nine blue at the start will be Francesca Marsaglia, drawn with 4.
Elena Curtoni took home 9, practically forced respectively to numbers 15, 17 and 19 Laura Pirovano, Federica Brignone (today the best Italian with the 8th time in the last training) and Petra Vlhova, the cup leader who risks being overtaken by Gut-Behrami, just 42 points behind the Slovak.
Number 12 for Marta Bassino, who did not find herself very well on "La VolatA" in the test, before Tippler and Lie (the Norwegian is very dangerous), while Michelle Gisin will start just before Vlhova, with number 18, and Marie-Michele Gagnon, who did very well in the two days of training, but was unlucky in the draw by drawing 20. Bib number 21 instead for Conny Huetter's return to the CdM, almost two years after the Soldeu finals; the other four blue at the starting gate will be Nadia Delago, with the No. 28, Federica Sosio with the 41, Roberta Melesi with the 47 and, a couple of numbers before, the daughter of art Teresa Runggaldier who will make her debut in cup.
The ''99 Gardena class had been slower than the test mates, but the last bib will be hers since Elena Dolmen, also expected to her first outing in the CdM, remedied an injury to her left hand precisely this' 'today and had to give up the start in tomorrow's race.

Rulfi rassicura sulla situazione di Goggia: Non sentiva di potersi allenare, ma non c'è stato nulla di traumatico
Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
