A second test to be taken with a grain of salt, but with an Aleksander Aamodt Kilde who decisively lowers the best times set yesterday and goes wild on the Stelvio, 24 hours from the fifth descent of the season that we will see on Wednesday in Bormio, starting at 11.30, but without Beat Feuz: the Olympic champion, who had had a cold for a few days, in the end decided to give up even the training encore and will not be in the match, postponing to Wengen and the double appointment with Kitz for the last performances of his career. The Norwegian phenomenon, on the other hand, pushes practically all the way and makes the difference, with a margin of 1”13 over the first pursuer, a great Mattia Casse. The Piedmontese is there and, although he still has to fix something in the Ciuk area, he is fabulous in the final stretch, the one where the energy left over makes the difference, even earning 34 cents over Kilde himself who had already made a void on the others. At 1"58, the third time trial of the day is for Matthias Mayer, here dangerous for anyone, then in a handkerchief of cents here are Crawford (+ 1"66), Cochran-Siegle (1"68), but also Sarrazin, Sejersted, Theaux and Schwaiger, with Clarey in the top ten but over two seconds. Just outside the top 15 Marco Odermatt (+ 2"74), with the clear feeling that tomorrow the master of the CdM will still be in full tussle for the win, with Pietro Zazzi 4 tenths ahead and with his bib in his pocket for the race. The fifth blue at the finish line is Dominik Paris, with a 3"33 disadvantage which counts for the right, even if the King of the Stelvio has to adjust important details from the Pian dell'Orso area onwards, which had already seen him lose yesterday much up to the leap of St. Peter. Just ahead of "Domme" are Florian Schieder (+ 3"08) and Giovanni Franzoni (+ 3"13, behind Molteni (3"37 late), Marsaglia (+ 4"70) and Innerhofer, yesterday with the best time trial and decidedly relaxed today, giving up completely in the final like Kriechmayr (also over 5” from Kilde) to save energy in view of the day that counts. Alliod and Franzoso, vying for the last place available in Italy, crossed the finish line with 4"45 and 5"71 respectively: it will be up to the technical staff to decide whether the Aosta Valley player will therefore make his debut in the World Cup on Wednesday.
