It is his dream, like all the giant's specialists who can only see it as the symbolic track, especially if your flag is Italian.
Luca De Aliprandini will be the man of reference for the Italian national team who will attack the Gran Risa on Sunday for the fourth giant of the World Cup scheduled in the Alta Badia temple. After the 6th place in the second round of Santa Caterina Valfurva, with the first podium of the career ever closer, the bar will rise further in the real home race. “The goal is to restart from that heat of Santa Caterina, despite having made a rather stupid mistake. I immediately turned the page, even though I was really close to 2nd place ”.
The man from Trentino talked about himself during a direct social set up by the organizing committee of Alta Badia, with the voice of Formula 1, Carlo Vanzini (speaker of the races on the Gran Risa for years), chatting with the blue leader, which on the Gran Risa obtained two seventh places, in 2016 and 2018 (and was eighth in 2017), which best results. “It is the race of the year, even if we have already had two giants in Santa Caterina - explains Luca - This is historically one of the most beautiful tracks in the world, if not the most beautiful ever, where I got between other first points in the World Cup in 2011.
It is a track that I love and I will give that something more than usual: just arriving here is an emotion, let alone Sunday ”.
The secrets of the Gran Risa? "It is simply 100% complete, because you need physical resistance from the wall exit for the last 20 seconds of the race with the cat's humps, where it can still change a lot, and the initial stretch is beautiful, with the steep and a lot of variety, changing the terrain often. In addition, the mantle is always prepared at its best, frozen as I like it ".
