The big names choose low numbers for a Garmisch descent full of unknowns: Mayer 1, Feuz 3, Paris 5

Friday (11.30) appointment on Kandahar 1 for the sixth specialty round: "Domme" after the two eternal rivals, for Innerhofer a good draw with 8. Seven blues in the race, there will be no Bosca and Molteni. Thomas Dressen gives up.

All with low numbers, to "save themselves" from a track that risks ruining soon. Dominik Paris defined it as “dead snow”, after the only test staged today, and Friday's in Garmisch-Partenkirchen will certainly be a descent full of unknowns and which will experience its highlight at the start. Appointment at 11.30 (live TV on Eurosport and Rai Sport) for the sixth seasonal specialty race, penultimate ever before the World Championships in Cortina since Saturday, after the decision of the FIS to reverse the appointments on the Bavarian snows, the super-g on the same Kandahar 1 where the jet men will compete again tomorrow after the Kitzbuehel triptych. And it will be the one who always got on the podium in the Tyrolean races, namely Matthias Mayer, who will open a descent that will not see Thomas Dressen as protagonist, today engaged in testing (he finished 3 seconds behind Max Franz, best time) and who has chosen to do not risk getting on the track immediately at the race level, while other athletes will try to return after injuries, namely Niels Hintermann and Adrian Smiseth Sejersted. Low bibs, we said, for those who could choose: Beat Feuz opted for the 3 and will therefore start after Mayer and Bennett, while Dominik Paris took the 5 and Johan Clarey the 7. After the Frenchman, here is Christof Innerhofer raffled with a good 8, then Kriechmayr and Franz who can be dangerous elements like Romed Baumann (13). Seven blues in the race: there will be no Guglielmo Bosca, who returned to practice after more than a month of stoppage for the knee problem accused in the test in Bormio, and Nicolò Molteni, whose debut in CdM will therefore not take place after having tasted Kandahar training today. Matteo Marsaglia will start with 29, while Lele Buzzi, very fast in practice (6th time), will have to "make do" with 32. Finally Tonetti with 39, Schieder with bib 52 and Zazzi with 56.
