The shoulder injury remedied in July on the snows of Les Deux Alpes, the resumption at the end of the summer and then his first in Soelden, to then face the trip to the States for another debut, the one in the Nor-Am Cup races where he did well especially in slalom. And today here comes the first victory (on the third podium) in the European Cup for Giovanni Franzoni, capable of beating everyone in the second consecutive super-g on the snow of Zinal; 28th yesterday in the day of Matteo Franzoso, 1st today in very different conditions, as explained by the 2001 Italian class who, in this specialty, is also the reigning jr world champion: “It was a more regular race than in Monday from the meteorological point of view - says the twenty-year-old from Brescia - A bit of fog arrived at the end, but by now the positions were stabilized. The first supergiant was difficult because you couldn't see anything and Matteo Franzoso was very good at taking advantage of it when there was a small segment of visibility. It is my first cup victory, in this discipline in the last few months I had not been able to ski a lot, but fortunately the trip to Copper Mountain in the last few weeks has helped me, I am getting back in shape and it is the most important news. The training in Colorado helped a lot to find the race pace, go downhill and super-g of the length of 1''30 "instead of thirty seconds as on the European glaciers, in this period, it is another story and at that altitude makes itself felt. In the next few days I will stay in Zinal to participate in the two giants of the European Cup (Thursday 2 and Friday 3 December), then I will move to Val d''Isère for the giant of the World Cup (Saturday 11, ed), and then again the Cup Europe with the super-g of Santa Caterina Valfurva ”.
