The first of the Friulian triptych is by the Austrian Haaser, who dominates McGrath (more and more leader of the general) and the blue. Excellent 6th place for Guglielmo Bosca, also De Aliprandini, Faivre and many big names in the race.

Sella Nevea crowns Raphael Haaser, in the first of the three European Cup races (Thursday another super-g, Alpine combined Friday) on the Friulian snow. Today's super-g saw the 22-year-old Austrian take his first hit on the continental circuit after three second places (including the last one, last weekend in the Berchtesgaden giant behind Roberto Nani), dominating a very tough race , on a slope that has also exalted the enormous qualities of Atle Lie McGrath, the phenomenal Norwegian class 2000 protagonist in every discipline and more and more leader of the general with the 2nd place at 69 cents from the Tyrolean (incredibly, the 19 year old Scandinavian has not yet won in the European Cup, with seven second places and two thirds ...).
However, it was a great day also for Alexander Prast: the blue took the third podium of his career, after the two in mid-December in Zinal (with victory), with a very heavy third place since the exit of the Austrian Koeck is worth the top of the super-g standings and the fixed place in the World Cup for the 2020/21 season closer and closer.
The 23-year-old from Alto Adige preceded another Austrian, Julian Schuetter, by one cent, while Italy also smiles with Guglielmo Bosca (like Prast, at the start of the World Cup super-g in Saalbach on Friday): he started with the bib number 1, clearly a disadvantage in a super-g of the kind, the Milanese placed sixth at 4 tenths from the podium, preceded by a certain Mathieu Faivre (dropped with the number 40) and with a hundredth margin on Cyprien Sarrazin, another of the many big companies of CdM present in Friuli. Yes, because Stefan Luitz and Luca De Aliprandini also competed, respectively 15th and 17th.
The other Azzurri in points: Nicolò Molteni 18th and Pietro Zazzi 24th.
