In Val Gardena here is the Piedmontese darting ahead of everyone with a very fast training especially up to the Ciaslat. Baumann follows, but the Americans are there as well as Kilde. Paris still far away.

An impressive test, the only one we will see on the Saslong given that, before the triptych of races on the Val Gardena snow, with a double descent (a recovery of Beaver Creek) and the super-g which will be staged on Friday, for tomorrow the FIS will grant a rest day considered the tour de force in the men's World Cup calendar.
Impressive is the right term to describe what Mattia Casse did in today's challenge that opened the long round of the Saslong Classic: sure, the Piedmontese is often fast in official training and then in the race he sometimes gets lost, but on the track where the Last year he achieved the best placement in a CdM downhill, seventh, today he showed that it could really be the right time for something... big.
Up until the Ciaslat, Mattia had almost a second over all, starting from Romed Baumann to whom he lost almost 7 tenths of a second in that sector alone, however finishing in first place with 38 cents compared to the German.
At 59 here is the third time trial of a reborn Adrien Theaux, then the usual Americans from... Gardena: here they are wonderful and here are Goldberg, Ganong and Bennett (winner last year) from fourth to sixth place, around 7 tenths behind like Clarey and the number 1 favorite, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde today 8th at + 0”76 from Casse.
The Germans travel, if we think that Sander and Ferstl complete the top ten of this race, ahead of the Austrians, from Mayer to Kriechmayr and further away Hemetsberger, who could also suffer on the Saslong.
