What if Marco Odermatt kept the cup open until the finals? In giant it is total battle

The World Cup rankings after Bansko's second giant: Pinturault always solid in command of the general, but the Swiss is "only" at 210 points with 5 fast and 4 technical races at the end of the season.

After the injury to the holder of the crystal ball, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, everyone has predicted Alexis Pinturault as the winner of his first ever World Cup. The Frenchman did not betray by continuing to grind points, but with nine races from the conclusion the margin is not unbridgeable for the only athlete who seems to be able to still undermine the transalpine: after today's 2nd place in Bansko, Marco Odermatt finds himself at 210 points from Alexis and it must be considered that the next weekend in Saalbach, with two descents and a super-G, may be favorable to the Swiss who, obviously, will have to further raise his level in speed to have a minimum of chances. Overall, 3 downhill runs, 2 super-gs, 2 giants and 2 slalom remain on the calendar: Pinturault remains very favorite, but the game will probably not be closed before the technical races of the Lenzerheide finals. From a giant's cup perspective, on the other hand, everything is very open with Odermatt himself just 25 points behind his French rival, while today's misstep costs Zubcic a heavy -64 when there are only two races left. In the specialty WCSL, as explained several times today, Luca De Aliprandini overtook Kristoffersen in 7th place, with the Norwegian out of the first sub-group after years and the Trentino in his "first" in Kranjska Gora, while breaking into the 15, considering the injured, Stefan Brennsteiner back from 3rd and 5th place obtained in the two giants in Bulgaria.
