On "his" track, Hinterstoder's Hannes Trinkl where he triumphed yesterday in combined and twice in the giants played in 2016 (the last time of the Austrian resort in the World Cup), Alexis Pinturault is exalted once again and does the empty in the first heat of the seventh seasonal race between wide doors. The giant who could bring the French to the top of the general classification, seems already in the hands of the 28-year-old from Courchevel halfway through the race (second round scheduled at 12.30 on the drawing of Roberto Saracco), given that Zubcic chases at 9 tenths rounds of detachment, after the Croatian winner for the first time in Yuzawa Naeba managed to recover something in the final stretch of the longest giant of the season (almost 1''25 â€of heats). Pinturault was in fact scary until the end of the wall, trimming impressive detachments if we think that Kranjec, leader of the specialty, is third with 1 "12 to recover, followed by Faivre (1" 27), Olsson (1 "38) and Henrik Kristoffersen , who does not take advantage of the bib number 1, closes sixth at 1 â€42 and will be called to a comeback at least from the podium to keep the cup dreams alive. In this sense, the leader Aleksander Aamodt Kilde pays 1 "88 (he is 9th, just ahead of Marco Odermatt), but has shown that he has skiing to try to reassemble some positions and play important points; to precede the Norwegian by 16 cents the Norwegian, here is a good Luca De Aliprandini in seventh position, with 1 â€72 gap from Pinturault. The Trentino had been practically perfect until the end of the wall, also fighting for the top 3, and then losing a lot in the final plan: there is room to still play an important placement, who knows even that first podium in the World Cup that still missing the best blue giant.
