Coming from the best season of his career, the combined championship turns on the engines on the Swiss glacier.

The Saas Fee slopes have in fact welcomed Alexis Pinturault for the official resumption of training on the snow, after many months of preparation between the gym, the athletic part and even a lot of bike, given that the 28-year-old from Courchevel loves to ride around the areas of "his" lake of Annecy.
Pinturault has thus "anticipated" direct rivals for yet another assault on the general World Cup, or Marcel Hirscher, who has monopolized the fight against the crystal ball in the last eight years and, as is known, is still undecided about his competitive future , and that Henrik Kristoffersen that the French preceded in the general classification of last season, ending for the first time in 2nd place, albeit quite far from the Austrian ace.
If the two colleagues (including sponsors ...) still have to put skis and boots on their feet, Alexis is working hard between the doors of the giant in Saas Fee, a prelude to the most delicate phase of preparation that will see the multi-purpose transalpine transfer arms and luggage to Ushuaia, from the very first days of September to work also on the slalom crossing Noel and company, despite the private team set up for "Pintu" in collaboration with the same French federation.
With the objective, after having conquered the first individual world title at Are and another specialty cup combined, to try to become the best of the white circus.
