An important week to "degass" at Italjet, with Domme at work together with Innerhofer, Buzzi and Casse. With Argentina further and further away, the situation is similar to that of a year ago, but it will change between October and November before the return of the North American races.

In the shadow of the Matterhorn to put important kilometers in your legs, even if simulating 1''40 ”descents as in Argentina is not possible. Dominik Paris, Christof Innerhofer, Lele Buzzi and Mattia Casse, or group 1 of the World Cup speed, are working hard in Breuil-Cervinia these days: on the track from this weekend and until Wednesday 25 August, the guys from Alberto Ghidoni need to speed up operations, considering that facing the trip to Ushuaia is increasingly complicated, while still hoping to be able to do so in the second half of September.
Alternating with the girls of the women's elite group, namely Bassino, Brignone and Goggia, “Domme” and companions are still putting together a quality training, even if Paris himself has repeatedly stressed the importance that the South American trip would have.
In practice, the situation is similar to that of summer-autumn 2020, but the positive note is obviously related to the fact that it applies to everyone, even if the Swiss in Zermatt can better manage tracks and times. We remember well the many time trials with Feuz and his teammates a little less than a year ago, when they came to train together even in late November, considering that the sprinters' debut would only take place in mid-September in Val d''Isère.
This time the North American World Cup races will return, with the double stage of Lake Louise (even more important with two scheduled descents, in addition to the super-g, from 26 to 28 November) and Beaver Creek, and here is the autumn job will definitely change. For Dominik Paris in particular, eager to dethrone the great rival Feuz, winner of the last four crystal balls in descent, but above all to win for the first time that cup that no one deserves more than him (victories in the maximum circuit in hand).
With a complete preparation, given that in 2020 the Val d''Ultimo jet had put its skis back only at the end of August at the Stelvio after the injury of the previous month of January, Domme will be able to change the course of history.
