The Trentino is 6th in the giant bis of Adelboden, the last one before the world championships. "We now have over a month to prepare Cortina". Borsotti and Tonetti, who will now devote himself to slalom, are also quite satisfied.

Three Azzurri in the top 16, after the bad race on Friday that had given Luca De Aliprandini only 14th place as a level placement (even if Tonetti could have hit the top ten, almost in his pocket until two goals from the end).
The giant bis of Adelboden has changed the face of the two blue days on Chuenisbargli for the giant team so criticized, even by the federal presidency itself, with the most awaited man who has once again turned around that podium he has dreamed of for years. De Aliprandini was missing four tenths to improve that 4th place obtained 3 years ago in the temple, in fact lost in a difficult first heat again, while the second was very solid for continuity of performance. “I was satisfied with the second heat - De Aliprandini told Fisi.org - Now we have more than a month to prepare for the World Cup giant, there is enough time to reach the decisive moment of the season with the right conditions. And I'm also happy for Borsotti and Tonetti, who are growing. We have to start from here to grow, to put together solid results ”.
Cortina will probably represent the opportunity of a lifetime for the '90s Trentino class, among other things from eleventh in the standings to potentially eighth in the specialty WCSL, if we consider the absences of Kranjec (who will return to the World Championships), Braathen and Ford.
For Giovanni Borsotti, on the other hand, today's 14th place is seen as a placement with which "we can be satisfied, since I am slowly regaining some solidity - said the Piedmontese - The best have shown that they have another step, with these conditions it was difficult but we have to insist ”.
Riccardo Tonetti, at the end 16th with a couple of positions recovered in the decisive heat, will be back in the slalom race on Sunday: "Today I skied perhaps a little less well than yesterday, I bring home a result that was needed after the disappointment on Fridays. Now let's look ahead, I will do some slalom in the coming weeks ”.
