Fast, very fast, with an excellent feeling on the Zwoelferkogel track.
Dominik Paris and Christof Innerhofer can smile at the end of the second round of the Saalbach-Hinterglemm descent, which saw them finish first and third in a very short ranking among the big names. Thinking about the races of the weekend there is confidence, but also a great unknown linked above all to the first descent on Friday (11.20 am), given that a snow and rain storm is coming over the Austrian town.
"Domme", according to yesterday one hundredth from Mayer and today best time trial, try not to think about it: "It went quite well, I understood the slope and the layout - the analysis of the champion of Val d''Ultimo through the FISI press office - We are all very close, there are many bumps and it is not easy to keep the line and push. The track is in very good condition: it is very smooth and there is a good surface, perhaps that is why there are small gaps.
For tomorrow the weather is about a storm, we don't know exactly what we will find, however I will try to put everything into the race ”.
Christof Innerhofer moved up the rankings compared to the first training, finishing just 14 cents behind his teammate: “It seems to me that the Austrians are very strong, they know the track well - explains Inner - but also Domme and I did well. I have a good feeling, already in the last few weeks of training I felt good and I saw that I was improving.
Confidence and fluency are always better and so I have fun and ski well, all things work out in the best way. For the race it will be different because the weather will change, but there is certainly the possibility of having a good race ”.
