On Kandahar the only training towards Saturday's descent (at risk of weather). Innerhofer the best of the blues, waiting for the decision whether to compete or not.

Johan Clarey ahead, confirming the super condition of a veteran who touched the blow of life on Streif last Saturday, and Kilde and Jansrud's Norway immediately behind.
Without Dominik Paris and with the flat rate of Matthias Mayer announced on Wednesday, the first test of the seventh descent of the men's World Cup season, in that of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, opens up to more solutions as many big names have hidden in the '' the only training that we managed to put on stage today, on the eve of the race scheduled at 11.30 on Saturday, but with the risk of rain looming.
And be careful, because on Kandahar you will still compete on a shortened route, given that the weather conditions have advised Markus Waldner and his staff to remove the initial wall and almost 20 seconds of a track that certainly loses a lot.
The favorite could still be Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, here winner of his first race (of the three total) in the World Cup in the 2016 descent and still in great shape; at times very fast, the Norwegian finished today's test just two cents from Clarey's best time, with Jansrud third at 39 instead.
Then we find Ferstl, Cochran-Siegle and a Max Franz recovering, but especially in seventh place just 58 cents from the French, here is Christof Innerhofer: the 35-year-old from Gais, always comfortable in Garmisch, will decide in the next few hours whether to participate to the race, thus evaluating the possibility of obtaining an important result (say top 7-8) in order not to disperse the injured status which is so important already thinking about the next season.
Positive Mattia Casse, although certainly not a surprise on test, with the 10th time 85 cents from Clarey; farther away instead, in addition to Feuz who pays 1 "10 and Kriechmayr 1" 82, the other blues starting from Matteo Marsaglia, who remedies 2 "06 of detachment, Emanuele Buzzi at 2" 65, Davide Cazzaniga at 3 "29 and Peter Fill, ready for his last race of his career, at 4 â€35 and clearly went down without taking any risk.
