The American flexes his muscles after the best time in the first round. The Carinthian on his queues in the company of Kilde, but everything (or almost) will change due to the weather.

“The track conditions are excellent, they have done a fantastic job in creating a consistent and compact surface that should hold up well over the next few days”. Word of Ryan Cochran-Siegle, before knowing that the fast races in Bormio would have undergone the inversion of the program due to the weather forecasts that indicate a heavy snowfall for Monday morning (and also pay attention to the wind) that will certainly affect the super -g on the Stelvio but probably also the descent at this point scheduled for Tuesday.
Perhaps not ideal for the American jet, in great shape and today author of the best time in the first test of a descent on which the good Cochran-Siegle, already second in Gardena behind Kilde for the first podium of his career, seems to have found wonderfully. “But I think I have to make some adjustments, because here we go much faster than in the last few weeks - he explains - You have to adapt to the track and it's nice when you notice that you are doing the right things at the right time.
In reality, however, I didn't try to push too hard but to ski well. There are sections of the track that I think I tackled in the right way but no, I didn't push that much ... ”.
Matthias Mayer seemed decidedly respectful of a track as severe as the Stelvio, but he is not lacking in courage (in addition to the immense quality of the Carinthian) and who, after today's third time trial just a stone's throw from Kilde, has shown that he has the the right cards to get what would be his first victory in Bormio and, ever, in a race on Italian snow. “Welcome to Bormio, I immediately thought - admits the two-time Olympic champion - The work begins and we have to work hard. This track is very tough, but we started well enough ”.
