There is a lot of Italy also in the second super-g of the European Cup in Sella Nevea, after the 3rd place of Alexander Prast and the 6th of Guglielmo Bosca in yesterday's.
Today the 26-year-old Milanese is the great blue protagonist, given that the youngest of the Bosca brothers gives himself a podium on the continental circuit 3 years after the last time (it is his third ever), with a long ordeal in the middle after the dramatic injury in December 2017 in Reiteralm, but a rebirth that has already begun in the World Cup, especially with that great super-G valid for the combined Bormio.
On the Friuli snows, however, "Gugu" closed a circle placing third in a very high level race, if we think that the dominator was a certain Mathieu Faivre, who started with the bib number 1 and capable of trimming 54 cents to the Austrian Raphael Haaser, winner in race 1, and 87 at Bosca himself. For the transalpine champion, second success in the European Cup 8 years after the success in the Oberjoch giant registered in February 2012. And behind the other Austrian Lahnsteiner and Stefan Luitz, definitely more on the ball than yesterday and today fifth, here two blues: Luca De Aliprandini starts with the bib number 45 and closes 6th, 1 â€50 from Faivre, following for 7 cents one of the most visible talents of our skiing.
18-year-old Giovanni Franzoni, after Wednesday's 13th place, improves again and takes home a fantastic 7th place, which says all about the exponential growth of the former Sci Club Falcade, capable of overcoming the leader of the general, Atle Lie McGrath, and Alexander Prast himself, the fourth Italian in the top ten.
The South Tyrolean therefore concludes 9th and defends the leadership in super-g with about twenty points on Haaser, essential to get closer to the permanent position towards the next World Cup. And tomorrow in Sella Nevea the Alpine combined will be staged, to close the triptych of Friulian races.
The other Azzurri with points in today's super-G: Pietro Zazzi 18 °, Henri Battilani 19 °, Nicolò Molteni 20 °, Pietro Canzio 26 ° and Federico Paini 28 °.

L'aumento dei Mondiali e le prime opposizioni da Austria e Germania: Il rischio è di svilirne il significato, ma non solo
La notizia di due giorni fa, con la FIS pronta ad organizzare i campionati del mondo di ogni disciplina pure negli anni pari non olimpici, ha scatenato reazioni anche da parte di due federazioni importanti come OESV e DSV. Dall'Austria fanno sapere che al neo presidente Ospelt era stato indicato parere sfavorevole, pur rendendosi disponibili per la rassegna iridata a St. Anton nel 2033, in data classica. E anche un campionissimo come Klaebo è scettico...
