An important agreement for further growth, even if the support of a company that offers the best for its athletes had already been such for some years. Alex Vinatzer has made official the sponsor who will accompany him starting from next season on the racing helmet: it is Red Bull, the Austrian giant increasingly involved in the world of skiing, from the times of Vonn and Svindal to representing the reference sponsor of Sofia Goggia and Ester Ledecka, but also the main partner of the new Van Deer brand by Marcel Hirscher, for what wants to become a real team, in the style of motorsports (of which Red Bull means something ...), in the panorama of the white circus. “It is a dream come true - Vinatzer commented to announce the partnership - After being my partner for three years, I am delighted that Red Bull becomes my new Head Sponsor. What the company does for athletes is incredible and I am more than confident that this collaboration will help me grow as an athlete and achieve better results. I can't wait for the season to start ”. A season in which to make the definitive leap in quality by the ''99 Gardena class, which has also changed materials by choosing Atomic, and is aiming decisively at the first victory in the World Cup, after having obtained its two podiums in 2020, between the beginning and end of the year in Zagreb and Campiglio, in addition to the 4th place in Cortina 2021 before the Olympic disappointment in Beijing 2022. The races in the central part of the 2021/22 vintage gave us a Vinatzer with greater confidence and undeniable potential, just think of the speed (and regrets) for the slaloms in Adelboden, Wengen and Kitzbuehel, but now it's time to change gear.
