It is especially scary for ... Sofia Goggia and all the Italian fans who would like, as this season's values had shown, to see the Bergamo champion win her second downhill World Cup, despite the injury that will deprive her of the last ones three races.
It is Breezy Johnson, the first pursuer of the blue in the specialty ranking (195 points to recover), the woman who seems to have the best feeling with "La VolatA" in Passo San Pellegrino, who will host two historic ones on Friday and Saturday he descended for the first of the Val di Fassa in the maximum circuit. Second time yesterday in the first race, the best today was that of the young American who has never yet won in CdM, but has always climbed the podium in the first four descents of the year (she only went down in the second in Crans-Montana).
Johnson, who slightly lowered the best of yesterday signed by Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, preceded Ramona Siebenhofer by 23 cents, with Gagnon third at 26 and Weidle fourth at + 0 "46. However, it promises to be a decidedly balanced battle, with Mirjam Puchner herself again quite fast (5 ^ at 59 cents from the US) and Lara Gut-Behrami who hid, finishing sixth at 74 cents, just 3 in front of the same Lie.
The best blue of the day this time is Federica Brignone, level up compared to the first training and eighth, 8 tenths round from Johnson, ahead of the Swiss Haehlen and Corinne Suter, with the world champion ready to "outgrow" in the race, the Tamara Tippler 11th and Elena Curtoni 12th, at 1 ”01. In the fifteen, at 1 ”28 after placing the fourth fastest time on Wednesday, Nadia Delago can still aim to do well in these two descents.
Seventeenth Gisin at 1 ”44, still distant Vlhova at 1” 96 to take a look at the athletes fighting for the absolute World Cup. At home Italy, however, Marsaglia closed at 1 "50, Pirovano at 1" 76, Bassino at 2 "25; then the fight, with the exception of Melesi (now 2 "19 away) already certain of the place, for the last two bibs in view of the race, with Elena Dolmen at 2" 12 and Federica Sosio at 2 "14, not far from the top 30 , to win the pass having been both faster than Teresa Runggaldier, who finished 2 ”62 from Johnson.
Tomorrow the start of the three days, with the first descent scheduled at 11.45.
