Another crucial weekend in the fight for a World Cup enclosed in ... 57 points.
This is the gap between Henrik Kristoffersen, Alexis Pinturault and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, the real theme for the return of the maximum circuit in Chamonix, which will host the ninth slalom of the season on Saturday and the second and last parallel giant after the one on Gran Risa on Sunday.
Tomorrow at 10 am the first heat (designed by Hladnik, Khoroshilov's technician, the second will take place at 13 with Austrian tracking) on "La Verte des Houches", which in truth does not have a slope suitable for slalom, quite simple and a completely different story from Schladming's last performance, which saw Henrik Kristoffersen return to success and stretch in the specialty classification (now there are 57 margin points on Yule, four races from the end).
It could be the day of Clément Noel, who also in Schladming gave a heat, the first, and then reassembled up to fourth place: in the second home race after Val d''Isère (when he came out in the 1st heat), the transalpine will start first, as on the occasion of the last victory in Wengen. Zenhaeusern and Kristoffersen will follow him, chasing other heavy points to repel Pinturault, back from the giant hurray of Garmisch and tomorrow at the start with the No. 6 after Yule and Schwarz (both very dangerous).
If the first Foss-Solevaag sub-group closes, here compared to Schladming it went much better in the draw for Alex Vinatzer, who will have the number 9 and will be able to storm the second podium of his career, on a slope where he could adapt very well . The other seven blues? Returning from the best race ever in Schladming with 5th place, Simon Maurberger will have 19 in the 1st heat, then immediately after the South Tyrolean here is Gross with 20 and Razzoli with 22. Both the Fassano and the Reggiano have to redeem Schladming and they also play a lot on points.
Finally Tommaso Sala to look for another qualification after the one on Planai (No. 42 for Brianza), Riccardo Tonetti with 55, Federico Liberatore with 56 and the return of Hans Vaccari in the Cup with bib number 61.
