The giant from Soelden gives very little satisfaction to the Azzurri, with the vice world champion out in the 1st heat and with the first starting sub-group lost. Giovanni Borsotti, 28th after a fatal crash: "It was right to try, many made mistakes like me". Now for some there will be the parallel of Lech before Val d''Isère.

Only one athlete in points, at the bottom of the standings after having stopped and forced to climb at the beginning of the wall of a 2nd heat that sentenced Giovanni Borsotti to a twenty-eighth place which is really too little for the giant's blues, in a opening of the World Cup decidedly negative.
It all started from the exit of Luca De Aliprandini in the 1st heat, with the Trentino punished by a Rettenbach who did not even see the other men of Carca and Girardi at the start after number 30, just think (even if the bib number it was important, it must be said) that the best was Dominik Paris, revived in giant after almost three years.
The departure cost De Aliprandini also the top 7 in the specialty WCSL, or the first sub-starting group in view of the second appointment scheduled in just under 50 days in Val d''Isère (10 December). Some blues seen today will also be at the start of the parallel of Lech / Zuers (November 13), but in the meantime we need to reflect on this first negative and work, aware that Soelden often makes history in itself (even if the greats are already there).
Borsotti explained to Rai Sport what happened in the heart of the 2nd heat, he who was trying to recover after the 23rd time trial signed in the 1st: "I knew that from that position I would have to do something big to get back up - the analysis of the Piedmontese - I didn't have a bad start, but there was very aggressive snow on that track and I slipped, as I have seen many others make a similar mistake.
I'll take something positive home, now let's think about the next one ”.
