Fatal inclination for Paris, the combined podium dream vanishes. Pinturault triumphs over Kilde and Meillard

The first specialty event in Bormio: the Frenchman does not betray his expectations by recovering in slalom, what a pity for "Domme" who loses the leadership of the World Cup in favor of AAK. Tonetti is fourth

A fatal inclination, when there was still the possibility of playing something big, and only a handful of points taken home. He tried to risk everything, but the combination of Bormio for Dominik Paris went badly, which still greets the Stelvio with two wonderful downhill victories, even if the leadership of the World Cup was taken away from him by Aleksander Aamodt Kilde , best time in super-g and then able to defend himself in the great way (starting with bib number 1, according to the new formula) in slalom, for a great 2nd place behind the great favorite of the eve, Alexis Pinturault, who despite the physical troubles, he signs two perfect heats, in speed and between the rapid gates, to take with his second half of margin on the Norwegian, his third seasonal success and in three different specialties. Third place for Loic Meillard (at 56 cents), who thus returns to the podium one year after Saalbach's double second place a year ago. Italy must settle for Riccardo Tonetti's 4th place (best career placement as in Bansko last February and at the Are World Championships), which comes back from the 17th place of the quick test, albeit at 1 "87 from Pinturault, while Guglielmo Bosca (splendid 11th in super-g) closes just behind Paris.
