Among signatures expected and arriving on time, but also others that could detonate an authentic "bomb" in the world of the ski market. Let's start from this last possibility, or the situation of Henrik Kristoffersen: the Norwegian champion, in fact, has not yet renewed with Rossignol, the historic brand of HK94 successes and with whom the agreement expired at the end of the Olympic season. The rumor has been running around for a month now and it is anything but a far-fetched hypothesis: should he not continue his adventure with the transalpine brand, the winner of the last slalom World Cup could also marry the project by Marcel Hirscher, becoming Van Deer's third athlete. It would be a sensational blow for the ambitious brand launched by the great former Austrian, needless to underline it. Meanwhile, the arrival of Mathieu Faivre in the Salomon house is official: everything has been foreseen for some time, since the April tests on the snows of Montgenevre, and now also the reigning world champion of giant and parallel, who thus leaves Head after a long experience and also the Olympic bronze in the last season, which was not easy for the Isola 2000 specialist, adding to those athletes who married Salomon in recent weeks, from Gisin to Robinson up to Camille Rast. “I am very excited about this new project and to become part of the Salomon family - Faivre's first words after the signing - Working with a French brand is exciting and has certainly played its part in the decision to get on board. Being involved in the development of the equipment, getting to know the people behind the scenes, making the skis and tuning them to my needs is a huge benefit. The proximity to the company and the relationship with the people who work there give me the certainty that this partnership is the perfect choice for me in the years to come ".
