A giant at risk for the weather conditions which, already on the night of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, will bring rain and a lot of humidity, with the situation that should not improve even during race hours.
So it will not be easy to put on stage the fifth seasonal specialty race, Sunday starting at 10.30 with the first race scheduled on Kandahar: a giant already canceled a year ago and in 2016 while, since he returned fixed in the Cup calendar Mondo, the other editions (2015, 2017 and 2018) have seen Marcel Hirscher always dominate the competition with a wide margin (remember the 3 â€28 in the second place in the race 5 years ago?).
Without the Salzburg ace, it will be a challenge to the white weapon with Kranjec, winner of the last race in Adelboden and specialty red bib, who will try to confirm himself by starting third, immediately after Faivre and Muffat-Jeandet. Kristoffersen and Pinturault instead drew the bibs n ° 6 and 7, but be careful in the second subgroup with many very dangerous men (if the track allows it), from Marco Odermatt to the return also in giant to ... Luca De Aliprandini.
Everyone still has in their eyes the great race of Adelboden, when the trentino touched the first victory in the World Cup and then slipped on the most beautiful: the bib number 14 is not the best, but virtue will be necessary on the track designed by Forest Carey , technician of the Americans (the second, at 13.30, will have Swiss tracking). There will be nine blues at the starting gate: without Moelgg, the only other athlete in the 30s is Riccardo Tonetti, who will start with the 27th, but pay particular attention to the great form of Giovanni Borsotti, winner in the European Cup (and 2nd in the first heats of Adelboden with the 53 ...) and at the start with the bib number 34.
And then Ballerin (39), Maurberger (40) called to rise in tone also in giant, Nani with 46, Giulio Bosca with 47 and the news Daniele Sorio (with 51) and Tommaso Sala (62). The Army standard bearer returns to CdM almost a year from Kranjska Gora, for the fifth giant of his career and the dream of the first points, while Brianza will face the sixth race in the maximum circuit in this specialty, three years after the '' last time in Adelboden.
