Cater is a historic red, but the real winner of the Val d''Isère weekend is ... Alexis Pinturault

The World Cup rankings after the first speed races: the Frenchman leads the overall and, with the 7th place in super-g and the small harvest of many rivals, he can really smile.

A surprise winner, coming out of the Val d''Isère weekend, who finally opened the dance for the jet men this season. The encore will be there in a few days in Val Gardena, then with the exception of the post-Christmas in Bormio, there will be plenty of space for specialists in the technical disciplines thinking about the possible extension in terms of the general classification. So Alexis Pinturault certainly wouldn't have imagined coming out of super-g and descent (in which he clearly did not participate) on the Oreiller-Killy, even gaining a margin over many rivals and finding himself with 15 points on Marco Odermatt, who had joined him in command after the giants of Santa Caterina Valfurva. The transalpine seventh in Saturday's race, the Swiss only 13th and 30th, but Aleksander Aamodt Kilde himself took home just a little, about seventy points, remaining 141 points behind Pinturault. The surprises in speed, which emerged in a sensational way both yesterday and today, further favor the 29-year-old from Courchevel and Henrik Kristoffersen himself, while in Gardena we will see Martin Cater appear for the first time in his career with the red bib on his shoulders. And there is good news for Dominik Paris, in addition to the quality performance shown on his return: having lost only 14 points from Beat Feuz, or 6 from Matthias Mayer himself, potentially the two direct rivals (in the absence of Thomas Dressen, already cut out of the game) for the descent crystal ball dream, can be considered a success.
