It starts with the super-g, the third of the men's cup after the two that went on stage in Beaver Creek and won by Marco Odermatt and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, to open the two days of competitions in Val Gardena.
After the training for Saturday's descent, Friday will be the first battle on the "Saslong": off at 11.45 (live on TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), on the track designed by Andreas Evers, a technician with decades of experience who trains the German team, and certainly the Azzurri do not start in front in the prediction of a match which, however, will immediately see them as protagonists.
Christof Innerhofer was far from lucky at the draw, picking the number 2, while Mattia Casse was able to choose eighth and opted for 3, in a race that will see the men expected later. Already with Sejersted and Cochran-Siegle it will be fun (numbers 7 and 8), then here with 9 the leader of the discipline and of the general classification, Marco Odermatt, who skipped the tests and will only compete in this race before focusing on the giants. in Alta Badia.
The Austrian army will see Walder precede Kriechmayr (n ° 11), in turn followed by Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (bib 13), who won here in 2020 also in super-g and will try to make three consecutive trio after the two pearls of Beaver Creek.
Dominik Paris was drawn with the 18, will have good references and will look for at least a top ten placement, after him we will see Matthias Mayer (19), always capable of everything even if in Val Gardena he will probably have to suffer, especially in the descent. Seven blues at the starting gate, with an absolute debut in the World Cup: as expected, the staff led by Alberto Ghidoni chose to field Matteo Franzoso (bib 45), who took part in the two tests and will do this race in his discipline, the one that a couple of weeks ago in Zinal gave him his first victory in the European Cup.
After the Genoese there will be only Matteo Marsaglia, still forced to make do with very high numbers in super-g (he will have 50), before instead here is Guglielmo Bosca with 32 and Lele Buzzi with 39.
