The Gran Risa awaits the giant's super challenge again, for a historic encore after the first Badia race that saw Henrik Kristoffersen return in front of everyone between the wide doors.
And it will be Luca De Aliprandini himself who will inaugurate the fourth giant of the World Cup, on Monday starting at 10.00 on US tracking (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai 2, as well as for the second scheduled at 13.30 and designed by Rottensteiner, technician of Norway): for the fourth time, the third this season, the blue leader has picked the number 1, even if today with Pinturault we have seen that, on a practically perfect track, it is a relative advantage.
Immediately after the Trentino, fifth today and clearly with the goal of the first podium in the cup also for tomorrow's race, we will see with the red bib Marco Odermatt, more and more specialty and general leader, beaten only by Henrik Kristoffersen who, back in the first sub-group, he will start with n ° 3.
Zubcic and Meillard will have to redeem themselves, but also Mathieu Faivre (bib 6) who ruined everything in today's second heat, after finishing in first place halfway through the race. And another disappointed in race-1 is certainly Alexis Pinturault, who this time will start with 7, preceding Schmid, Kranjec (after the podium in Soelden, the last two negative races for the Slovenian), Brennsteiner, with Switzerland who will also propose Murisier and Gino Caviezel, bibs 11 and 12 with Manuel Feller (13) who will go hunting for the third consecutive podium in the discipline.
Attention to River Radamus, number 17 and great sixth today, to Atle Lie McGrath (20), but also to the other norge Rasmus Windingstad, starting with 24, and the phenomenal Patrick Feurstein capable of the comeback from 27th to 4th place, already with a much better bib since the 25-year-old Austrian will use the 26.
Shortly before him, Giovanni Borsotti (22) and Riccardo Tonetti (25) to cancel the disappointment of the double exit in the inaugural heat of the first giant, and Lorenzi's national team is expected to redeem, De Aliprandini aside, with all the other men today without points, namely Maurberger (bib 37), Hofer (41), Zingerle (43), Franzoni, always looking for the first qualification in CdM with the n ° 45, and Filippo Della Vite (49), who there he had managed to overcome the "cut", then exiting in the second heat.
