De Aliprandini does not smile for the placement, but what a joy: for the first time he will start in 7!

The Trentino rider, 12th in the giant bis of Bansko, has bypassed Kristoffersen (his exit from the first sub-group is sensational) and will start in front of Kranjska Gora. And six Azzurri in points is a seasonal record.

A great joy in another difficult day, even if the performance compared to yesterday was certainly superior, topped off by a fatal mistake in the final of the second heat. Luca De Aliprandini leaves Bansko with an 18th and a 12th place, certainly too little for the vice world champion of giant, but thanks to the (very bad) results of Henrik Kristoffersen, 17th and 9th in the two days in Bulgaria, the expected overtaking has arrived which means former world champion out of the world top 7 after years and the blue inside, for the first time in his career, having overtaken HK94 by only 5 points. On March 13th in Kranjska Gora, therefore, the Trentino rider will be drawn between the bibs from 1 to 7 and, especially in the conditions found in Bansko, just to cite an example, he really makes all the difference in the world, even on a mental level . It was an important day for the Italgigante who, if we want, has never been in the running for a weight position, but after yesterday's five, today saw six athletes close in the 30s, a seasonal record and an important signal. . With Borsotti back in the 15, Tonetti just behind, then Zingerle, Moelgg and Hofer. No encore for Filippo Della Vite, who will remain in Bansko to play his chances in the jr world championships, and a great pity for Roberto Nani's physical condition, but after De Aliprandini's silver world champion, something has also moved behind to the reference of this team.
