French takes full advantage of the bib number 1, leaving only a few cents in the middle, but clearly proving to be the best player on the very first wall that, above all, on that terrible that marks the end of the Chuenisbärgli.
Second, trailing by 64 cents, is the more convincing Philipp Schörghofer, already in Alta Badia had proved they can compete for the top positions before committing a grave mistake which forced him to retire. The Austrian precedes his compatriot Marcel Hirscher, third to 70 cents from Pinturault even without making obvious mistakes.
Except for gifts from the first three, the fight for the podium appears to exclude the rest of the world. Fourth is in fact the brilliant Leif Kristian Haugen, whose secondment - 1 "to 19 Pinturault and 0" 49 from Hirscher - appears difficult to recover in the second round. Fifth Henrik Kristoffersen, today beaten by less illustrious compatriot, sixth and seventh the other two French Victor Muffat-Jeandet and Mathieu Faivre, eighth and tenth Swede Matts Olsson Felix Neureuther, whose race was affected by numerous inaccuracies.
De Luca is missing Aliprandini, ninth, best blues and author of the second half on the end wall. Just outside the top ten others: Roberto Nani is the twelfth, fourteenth Manfred Mölgg, while the sixteenth place of Florian Eisath is the son of a very serious mistake to the second port without which it would have been in close contact with at least Schörghofer and Hirscher.
