Yesterday they did not get on the podium, today they placed two on the first and third step. France triumphs in the home match, the second European Cup descent scheduled at Orcières-Merlette; the success is for Victor Schuller, who started with bib number 1 and sensational in the central section to go and seize the third pearl of his career in the continental circuit (he won in 2019 in Chamonix, always downhill, twice within a few hours).
At 17 cents here is Raphael Haaser, the Austrian second in the general classification, while in third place, 23 cents behind his teammate, is Sam Alphand who improves by one position the placing of the first descent dominated by the Americans. Today, however, Sam Morse (third yesterday) finished fourth, 56 cents from Schuller, and the winner of race 1, Erik Arvidsson, in sixth place and preceded by the leader of both the overall and the downhill classification, the Austrian Maximilian Lahnsteiner.
The blues? Objectively bad, without any placement in the top twenty: he takes home 9 points Nicolò Molteni, 23rd at 1 "93 from Schuller, instead closes 28 ° Giovanni Franzoni (+ 2" 03), yesterday the best with ninth place but in any case still third in the overall standings of the European Cup and with a great opportunity on Thursday in super-g (and perhaps even more so on Friday in combined).
A few points also for Mattia Cason, 29th, instead Paini, Filippi, Rizzi, Ranzi, Abbruzzese and Dalmasso dry. Zazzi (already 4th in Santa Caterina Valfurva), who started third, and Simoni who continues to live a difficult moment did not finish.
