Pinturault and the total triumph of Lenzerheide, with the specialty cup added to the general, pursued for years behind Hirscher. The emotion of the French champion after the race.

He closed in the manner of the greats, a bit like his eternal rival Marcel Hirscher, the one who forced him to postpone the dream of winning the "coppone" for years.
Today that day finally arrived, just to coincide with the 30th birthday of a true champion like Alexis Pinturault: he was the only one in history to have won over 30 races in the World Cup (with today's giant there are 34, with 70 podiums) and not having conquered the absolute crystal ball, but in Lenzerheide the party is all for the French champion, who not only put his most important goal on the bulletin board, but also his first "real" specialty cup ( the combined rankings of the past years leave the time they find) in the discipline that he loves most, the giant.
If 24 years had passed since the last success in the general in the French home, with Luc Alphand triumphing in Vail in 1997, 19 have passed since the specialty cup in giant won by Frederic Covili. “It was what I dreamed of in my career - confessed Alexis immediately after the race to the FIS microphones - There is a huge job behind it and fantastic people who have always supported me, I will never thank them enough. It is a wonderful day, the real dream that becomes reality ”.
