He won the title of Swiss slalom champion at the start of the season, even if his compatriots from the World Cup team were missing in that race, and then exalted himself in the slalom exhibition in Crans-Montana, 2nd behind Luca Aerni and in front of a certainly Clément Noel. Today Noel ... Von Gruenigen, or one of the sons of the great Mike, will try to give himself the first podium in the European Cup, he who commands with the best time at the end of the first run of the Vaujany slalom (tomorrow there will be another one). Behind the 25-year-old rossocrociato, with only one tenth of a gap, perhaps the main favorite of the eve, the young transalpine Theo Letitre who won the very last slalom played in the continental circuit, last December 18 in Pozza di Fassa (beating by 6 cents Manfred Moelgg). Of course, many protagonists are missing on the French snow, considering the concomitance with the CdM slalom in Zagreb, and it was a good opportunity for Tobias Kastlunger, already sixth on the "Aloch" and, just in Vaujany a year ago, able to obtain the two best results of his career in the European Cup (before the second race in Fassana), with an amazing 7th and 6th place considering the starting numbers. Well, today the Marebbano never managed to enter the race and, starting with bib 4, he finished 2 ”75 from Von Gruenigen coming out of thirty (he will participate in the second heat anyway, aiming for redemption tomorrow). Behind the German Himmelsbach, third at 3 tenths from the top, with the Swiss Kippel just over 4 and then the excellent insertions of the French Bianchini, 5th at 62 cents, but above all the British Taylor (at 64 cents with the number 21) and of the Austrian Raschner (7th with 23, at + 0 ”68), we find Hans Vaccari as the best blue, 12th at 1” 30.
