Zenere with Bassino and Brignone for the 2nd heat of Semmering. Faith: "Marta and I are there, confidence is growing"

Three blue qualified in the giant encore on the Panorama. The specialty leader on the layout of the 1st heat: "The poles hit your face, we'll see how the second will be but the attitude will be the usual". Vicenza is in the 20th place to look for other points after Sestriere.

Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone, in a "shooting" position like yesterday, third and fourth albeit with a significant gap from Gut-Behrami (respectively 81 cents for the Cuneese and 1"01 for the Aosta Valley) and also from Shiffrin, and Asja Zenere with the two blue stars of the giant, halfway through the race of the second appointment in Semmering. At 13.00 the restart on the "Panorama", with tracing by Manuel Gamper, coach of Sara Hector's Sweden, 4th ex-aequo with Brignone herself, and we will therefore see Vicenza as the first Italian, great 20th starting with bib number 39, albeit today there were better chances of qualifying than in race-1. Bassino is always there, from the podium area (he would be fourth in as many seasonal specialty races), even if another super 2nd heat will be needed to try and win, like on Tuesday. “It's still open – Marta's words to the microphones of Rai Sport after her test – It was a particular first, really straight and the posts hit your face. We'll see the layout of the second, but the idea is always to attack because you can fight for the top positions”. “Unfortunately the gap is as high as yesterday – he added, always intercepted by his colleague Simone Benzoni, a Federica Brignone aiming for the 50th podium in the cup – Marta and I are there, but again I take a lot from Shiffrin at the top. I had some rebounds but with the pace so fast it was still a solid moto. I'm growing in confidence, I'm quite happy ”.
