European Cup: in Folgaria Bissig dominates in the first heat of the giant, blue far away

The Swiss clearly precedes the Norwegians Haugan and Veisten, only Hannes Zingerle navigates close to the top ten. At 12.30 the decisive heat.

A first heat with little blue up front, on the “Salizzona” which hosts the two-day men's European Cup dedicated exclusively to the giant (and initially scheduled for January 22-23). Halfway through the race of the fourth round of the season, waiting for the decisive heat scheduled at 12.30, it is Semyel Bissig who already has a lot of margin to try to seize what would be his first victory in the European Cup; the Swiss, already in light at the CdM level in the parallel of Lech / Zuers, precedes two Norwegians with Haugan second at 48 cents and Veisten who pays 87. Then everything is open for the podium area, with the Dutch Meiners (4th at + 0 "93) and the Russian Kuznetsov both under the second behind, ahead of the Swiss Daniele Sette, sixth at 1" 12 on a par with Charlie Raposo and with a couple of cents on compatriot Noger. The first two of the European Cup general are far away, the Austrians Lahnsteiner and Haaser, but also the Azzurri who were definitely expected considering the presence of various athletes from the World Cup groups, for an ideal double test approaching Cortina 2021. Luca De Aliprandini was not there, while Giovanni Borsotti left the scene; the best will be Hannes Zingerle, 12th at 1 ”30 from Bissig, while Giovanni Franzoni, 4th in the specialty ranking, navigates in sixteenth place with 1” 59 to recover. A penny behind the Brescia player here is an excellent Tommaso Sala between the wide gates of the giant, with Daniele Sorio completing the blue trio, in 18th position (+1 ”67). Negative the first heat of Alex Hofer, the leader of the discipline cup only 23rd at 1 ”88, preceded by 4 cents by Stefano Baruffaldi (20th at 1” 84), but started with the number 38. (updating)
