Henrik has the chance to jump on top of the World Cup with giant and slalom on the "Face", the Savoyard plays a lot at home.

A duel that, at least for now, has not yet turned on ... totally.
The men's World Cup is as uncertain as ever and, as was also normal, after four fast races in the last five races, ahead of Henrik Kristoffersen and Alexis Pinturault there are still sprinters, with Mayer, Kriechmayr and Paris in the case of the Norwegian, and Feuz, Kilde and a "joker" like Odermatt to precede the French.
It is clear, however, that starting from the two races of Val d''Isère, with giant and slalom scheduled for the next weekend on the "Face de Bellevarde, the Norwegian (in particular, being only 40 points from Matthias Mayer) and the French could take the lead.
Henrik precedes the Savoyard by 29 points (193 to 164), with many regrets for Alexis in the last two technical tests, as Levi's "zero" and 17th place in the Beaver Creek giant put him in a position of pursuit, despite the great 4th place obtained in the super-g on the "Birds of Prey".
"It was not my favorite track, I am very satisfied with this day", said Kristoffersen after the 2nd place obtained in last Sunday's giant in Colorado, and how to blame him since after the 18th place in Soelden, HK94 got 180 points between the Levi slalom and the second seasonal test between the wide doors.
For his part, Pinturault will play a lot on the snow of the house and on a slope that he particularly loves, with double success in giant (2016 and 2017) and his first of his career in slalom, back in 2012. And he will be right between the posts tight that the 28-year-old from Courchevel will play most of his chances for the dream of the "coppone".
