If Luca De Aliprandini was the blue giant on the Gran Risa, the absolute ruler of this second day in Alta Badia is the master of this World Cup, Marco Odermatt. Huge what the Swiss champion did in the second heat, with disarming simplicity, which gave him his first victory on the temple track, trimming more than a second to the first pursuers. The eighth in his career, the fifth in the giant, the fourth of the season and the third in four rounds between the wide doors. Numbers that bring "Odi" to +167 on Henrik Kristoffersen, the first rival in the giant cup, and with 228 points on Matthias Mayer and over 300 on Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in the overall, the real big goal after last season's mockery. Speaking to the FIS microphones, the phenomenon from Canton Nidwalden recounted his joy: “The second heat today was a battle, but I wanted to win after having made a very good first. I just thought about always pushing, it wasn't easy in these conditions. It's amazing what is happening to me, winning three out of four giants (plus a second place ...), but I just think about enjoying the moment, without too much pressure. Now a few days of rest, finally ". Then Bormio, with a descent and above all two super-gs that wink at him.
