European Cup: Holzmann takes advantage of the '1 and makes a vacuum on the "Aloch": Noel and super Liberatore chase after the f

In Pozza di Fassa the first of the two slaloms with many big names in CdM: the Frenchman remains the favorite, even though he has to recover 76 cents from the German. The Italian host is third, outside Vinatzer and Maurberger. Not even Razzoli left, after the Covid case that has already hit Tommaso Sala.

A show of the highest level, with many slalom aces that we will then see between Alta Badia and Campiglio in the first two slalom of the World Cup. Above all Clément Noel, to light up the European Cup slalom in Pozza di Fassa on the “Aloch”. The Frenchman immediately places the second time trial, despite starting with the bib n ° 16, in an opening heat that sees the German Sebastian Holzmann (winner of his first race in the continental circuit last season in Jaun) making the most of the number 1 and trim 76 hundredths behind the first pursuer, precisely the transalpine champion who still remains the favorite, thinking of the second heat set at 13. And in third position here is a very good Federico Liberatore, he from Fassano doc who literally feels at home: third position at 1 ”03 from Holzmann, despite the stop of several weeks in the autumn to solve the usual problems in his back. First round bitter instead for some of the big blues present, with Alex Vinatzer and Simon Maurberger leaving the scene, while Giuliano Razzoli did not start after the Covid case which, yesterday, had excluded Tommaso Sala from the competition, positive result at quick test. There is concern in Italy, especially thinking about the slalom on Monday and Tuesday that will open the CdM. Manfred Moelgg did very well (returning after Covid positive), seventh at 1 "45 from the top and not far from Nordbotten, fourth at 1" 11, and above all from Nef (1 "37) and Del Campo (1" 42). Stefano Gross had to "make do" with the number 26, finishing 11th at 2 "08, good the heat of Hans Vaccari who closes in the 15, with 2" 14 of detachment, and among the blues also Gori are placed in the thirty (20th in 2 ”35) and Kastlunger, 27th at 3” 84 and “saved” by the bib number 30, since it was really impossible to take home the time even for top level athletes who started later.
