Eve of the fifth giant of the season for the men's World Cup, after the two splendid ones on the Gran Risa.
The other temple of the discipline, Adelboden's Chuenisbargli, awaits the protagonists of a challenge that sees Marco Odermatt and Alexis Pinturault as main favorites, but which will propose a Luca De Aliprandini by now a splendid reality among the greats. The Trentino rider has just obtained his first podium in the World Cup and, right on the Swiss track, in 2020 he experienced the race in which he came closest to success, derailing in the middle of the second heat when he was in the lead.
With Luca, at the gate there will be Simon Maurberger, Riccardo Tonetti, Filippo Della Vite, Giovanni Franzoni, Alex Hofer, Giovanni Borsotti and Alex Vinatzer, re-proposed after Soelden and arrived (as “Maubi”) directly from Zagreb last night. "We had a good training in Ponte di Legno, with very good conditions and a well prepared and demanding track - the words of De Aliprandini's eve - We also tested in slightly warmer conditions, with sleet, as it could be tomorrow here, since they give some snow.
Relax today, we made two free-field curves, because the skiing on the track has been canceled. In any case, I believe that the track will be well prepared, as they always do in these parts ”.
And again: “The season has gone very well so far, they are among the top seven on the starting list: there is no stress and no particular thoughts. I want to continue to be in the top five and be able to play for the podium. As long as I can stay there, everything is possible; I like Adelboden a lot, over the years more and more: I can say that it is my favorite track. I want to compete here and I'm sure it will be a good race. We'll see how it turns out".
