Cochran-Siegle is also a missile on the Stelvio, but Kilde and Mayer are scary. Inner-Paris, so-so ...

A real test, held on a marble Stelvio, already faced with a knife between the teeth by the jet men who opened the last round of the 2020 World Cup in Bormio, in view of the fast races scheduled on Monday with the third seasonal descent and Tuesday with the super-g. And it is a man in great shape and confidence to sign the best time clearly, that Ryan Cochran-Siegle who on an opposite track like the Saslong, obtained the first podium of his career only seven days ago with the 2nd place in the descent into Val Gardena behind Kilde. And the Norwegian ace can dream of a consecutive three of a kind as today he has already impressed in a training that saw him finish second, 58 cents from the American, but signing the best times from Carcentina until the attack of the stretch final after the wall of San Pietro. And 3 cents from the holder of the crystal ball there is another man who will be scary in both races and has already reached the podium here in Bormio, that is Matthias Mayer seemed very solid from top to bottom of the Stelvio. The condition is certainly not lacking for Jared Goldberg, still brilliant and fourth at 79 cents from his teammate, then the gaps (as always on the most difficult track of the circuit) become really high starting from the French Allegre, fifth at 1 "46, and Bailet (6th at 1 ”73). Over 2 seconds Mauro Caviezel, who opened the test with number 1, then Clarey and the first blue, Christof Innerhofer: 9th at 2 "24 from Cochran-Siegle, the South Tyrolean paid a lot in the first 30 seconds up to at the Canalino Sertorelli (over a second), then played a good training session ahead of Beat Feuz at the end of 6 cents, who will certainly be the protagonist in the descent as in previous years, despite never having won in Bormio. The Swiss had repeatedly to bow to Dominik Paris, the King of the Stelvio with his 6 successes (5 downhill), but today he still seemed not too brilliant: "Domme" closed at 3 "36 from the best time (losing in the heart of the Stelvio, from Carcentina downwards) and will have to work hard to play for an important result at least in the first race on Monday, provided that it is possible to compete considering the decidedly negative weather (the second test, Sunday at 11.30, is not instead in danger). Vincent Kriechmayr's test did not go well, here expected to redeem and more than 3 seconds behind, while Kjetil Jansrud did not start, who has never had a great feeling with the Stelvio as Martin Cater seems not to have, if we think that the former red bib was more than 8 seconds behind, suffering like never before in the terrible final stretch of the wood with those long corners where the legs burn.
