There is also quite a bit of Italy in the 2019/2020 Nor-Am Cup. The North American circuit, fundamental in terms of points considering the next World Cup, sees Stefano Baruffaldi in full swing for the giant standings, which now the 27-year-old from Lecco commands after the sequence of races staged in Vermont. First at Burke Mountain, where the German Bastian Meisen dominated the giant who saw the native of Dervio finish in twelfth place, while Adriana Jelinkova beat the competition in the two women's tests between the wide doors, and then finished second one tenth from the American Nina O''Brien in the slalom. Baruffaldi then made the difference at Stowe Mountain Resort, with a third place in the first giant who still saw Meisen in front of his compatriot Gratz, then with the place of honor on the day of Canadian domination (3 in the first 4) with the vittotia of another face already protagonist also in CdM, the talented Brodie Seger, who folded the blue for only 5 cents. The final slalom, however, rewarded the 2000 US class Benjamin Ritchie. This result earned the primacy in the giant standings, which the Lombardian leads with 37 points on Gratz and 42 on Meisen, while the Canadian Jeffrey Read is leading by a wide margin. The resumption of the Nor-Am Cup, with other technical tests scheduled, is scheduled for February 3 to 7 in Mont Edouard, Canada.
