A super-g crucial for the challenge to the specialty cup, but above all for the absolute crystal ball. In Lenzerheide it is above all Marco Odermatt who crosses his fingers to ensure that tomorrow on the “Beltrametti” we will be able to compete regularly; the appointment is set at 11.00, with the 23-year-old Swiss looking to overtake Alexis Pinturault at the top of the general. The Frenchman precedes him by 31 points and, if we think of what Odermatt did in the last super-g in Saalbach, literally dominated by the Nidvaldese as well as the giant of Kranjska Gora, it is clear that inertia is all on the side of the young champion of Buochs. Pinturault, who already exalted himself in the 2014 finals on such a technical track, winning his first and only super-g in CdM, will start before his direct rival: he fished the bib n ° 4 the transalpine, in an open super-g by Walder and with dangerous people like Meillard and Sander to follow. Immediately after Alexis, there will be the specialty leader and world champion Vincent Kriechmayr (n ° 5), very close to his first cup as he has 83 points ahead of Odermatt himself, starting with 7. Matthias Mayer, already certain of at least third place in the specialty classification (after finishing second in the downhill), will start with 9, while with higher numbers there will be the three Azzurri in the race. Christof Innerhofer chose 13, Dominik Paris was drawn with 16, finally with 21, the last athlete to start, here is the debut in a World Cup super-g for Giovanni Franzoni, with the pass in his pocket thanks at the junior world title won two weeks ago in Bansko. And it will also be the day, really hoping that the weather does not spoil everything, of the greeting to colleagues and to the whole white circus of Hannes Reichelt, who today announced his retirement and will experience a well-deserved catwalk for a champion of his caliber.
