On the Rettenbach in Solden, it is Alexis Pinturault to lay down the law, signing the success bis already obtained in the last edition held in 2016. The 28-year-old from Courchevel set his compatriot Mathieu Faivre by 54 cents, for a splendid French double, while Zan Kranjec completed the podium, third at 63 cents. Tommy Ford signed a great fourth place, while in the second he ruined everything Marco Odermatt, on the virtual podium after the first.
It was completely missed Henrik Kristoffersen, 10th after the first run and the author of a serious mistake at the beginning of the second wall, and then ended up in 18th position.
The novelty of the day, but it is far from a surprise considering its enormous talent, is represented by the Norwegian class 2000 Lucas Braathen, the youngest in the race and able to capture the best career result (in the sixth race in the maximum circuit ) with sixth place, a penny behind an excellent Ted Ligety, fifth, while Luca De Aliprandini was the best blue in eighth place. Some points also for Manfred Moelgg, at the 300th race of the career in the World Cup.
