In the World Cup team with regard to slalom, led by Jacques Theolier and Stefano Costazza, there is an important absence in these weeks of training which have foreseen, in the last few days, another meeting on the snows of Val Senales . Federico Liberatore, in fact, has now been stopped for a few weeks due to a fairly serious back problem: it is not the first stop for the ''95 native class of Val di Fassa, who in the last World Cup slalom disputed (it was now last February 8) achieved the best result of his career, with that great comeback up to 11th place in the Chamonix race. Already in December 2018, after showing excellent things even in the giants of the European Cup, the blue had seriously injured his ankle, effectively losing the rest of the season. Now that Fede seems to have found an important dimension, if we think that in 2020 he also won his first two slaloms in the continental circuit, first in Vaujany in January and then with an encore a month later in Berchtesgaden, here is a new, fairly prolonged stop . Liberatore explained on social media what he is doing to recover in time thinking about the seasonal debut in CdM, fortunately very far in the "new" calendar, given that the slalom specialists will compete directly in Alta Badia on Monday 21 December, with the second race of the discipline then on stage the next day with the legendary night on the 3Tre of Madonna di Campiglio. “I am working with the staff of the FISI medical commission and with doctor Pietro Picotti. We decided to stop to recover as soon as possible - explains the slalom rider from Fassa - A few more weeks and I'll be ready to get back on the snow and prepare for the first World Cup race. I can only thank Lab of Move for what they are doing to get me right ”.
