The descent of Saalbach-Hinterglemm, recovery of what should have been played on the Chinese snow of Yanqing (like tomorrow's super-g), rewards Thomas Dressen for the third time in the season.
German is phenomenal in the central section of the Zwoelferkogel, that of pure gliding on a track that, also considered a snow that is anything but frozen, has become really simple. And the Bavarian, who signs the encore ten days after the triumph at home in Garmisch, literally ruins the party to an amazing Switzerland, as four rossocrociati finish from second to fifth position.
The first of the lot is Beat Feuz, bent for only 7 cents and therefore forced to postpone the toasts for the third consecutive World Cup downhill, which would have been certain in the event of today's success: in any case, now there are 194 points of margin on the same Dressen with only two races to be played, Kvitfjell and Cortina. Reaches the 7th podium in his career, without winning, for a sensational Mauro Caviezel up to the final stretch, where a mistake will cost him his first triumph in the World Cup, vanished for 9 cents.
Fourth place for Janka, 26 cents away, fifth for Hintermann at half a second, with 5 cents margin on the duo Kriechmayr-Jansrud. And the top ten is completed with the French Muzaton and Clarey, who finish ahead of Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, tenth (ahead of Matthias Mayer) with 74 cents of detachment from Dressen and therefore without overtaking in the general cup against Kristoffersen. Appointment postponed until Friday, when Alexis Pinturault will be competing in the super-g.
For the Azzurri, as could have been foreseen considering the general situation of the team and the characteristics of the track, it was a difficult day: the best is Matteo Marsaglia, 19th at 1 "24, with Emanuele Buzzi 20th at 1" 33 and Mattia 25 ° cases.
