A giant national team that suffers, precisely in the temple match, the one where Italy, even in the most difficult moments, has always been reborn.
A completely different story compared to a year ago on the Gran Risa for Luca De Aliprandini, whose difficult moment continues, with his third outing in four races of the season: "Tomorrow I will push a little more", said the Trentino driver after the 18th place in race-1, which served to regain that lost confidence with the knockouts in Soelden and Val d''Isère.
Just like in Austria and France, about twenty seconds into the first heat and Luca finished out, still risking having to say goodbye to the second starting group as well, a factor that has already had an impact on this double appointment in Alta Badia, given that leaving the gate with n° 14 yesterday and 13 today, with these conditions of the Gran Risa it was already a handicap, beyond the current difficulty of the vice world champion.
Thus there will be two Azzurri at the start of the 2nd heat (like yesterday): Filippo Della Vite, still the best with the 20th time trial and an important mistake, but the possibility of hitting the top 15 for the second time in his career. Half a second to recover in that area of the standings, in the run starting at 13.30 which will see Giovanni Borsotti, 27th at 4”45 from Odermatt, be able to take advantage of an almost untouched track.
Just the leader of the giant bis, Marco Odermatt, explained to the microphones of Rai Sport what has changed compared to the first heat 24 hours ago: "It was a super descent, I felt great but something changed only in the.. head – the words of the Swiss ace into Ettore Giovannelli's microphone – I had more confidence and managed to interpret the heat well, now let's think about the second one”.
