The heirs of Dave Ryding, who by the way is not experiencing an exceptional phase of his career, seem to have arrived.
Yesterday the victory of Laurie Taylor, the first at the European Cup level (where he had never yet reached the podium), in the inaugural slalom of the two days of Val Cenis. Today, in the first heat of the second slalom on the French snow, there are also two Britons in the lead halfway through the race: the winner of race 1 is second, 15 cents behind his teammate and the same age Billy Major (yesterday 7th, clearly his best result in CE), which made his debut in the World Cup just a few days ago, in the inaugural specialty races between Alta Badia and Campiglio.
His Majesty's subjects daydream, also because the margin on the third place, or the expected Theo Letitre (who had won the second European Cup slalom in Pozza di Fassa), fifth yesterday, is 52 cents. The gaps are very wide, with Germany chasing with Ketterer, fourth at 87 cents from Major, and Tremmel 5th with 1 second clear, just ahead of Noel Von Gruenigen, leading in the first slalom on Wednesday and then derailing in the decisive heat .
At 13.00 the restart with the second, in which even the leading Azzurri can play an important role: Hans Vaccari, yesterday the best of Salvadori's team with 13th place, is ninth at 1 "31, 9 cents better than Tobias Kastlunger , also with the possibility of improving the best result in his career after the 6th place on the Aloch. They hit the top 30 too
