Kristoffersen opens "his" slalom on the Gudiberg: the startlist of Wednesday's race, 7 Azzurri at the start

In Garmisch-Partenkirchen the third slalom of the men's CdM: 1st heat at 15.40 with the Norwegian, 2nd in Campiglio, with the n° 1 to look for the first triumph with "Van Deer" after signing a double on this track last year. Braathen with the red bib immediately with the 2, while Sala fishes on the 13th and, out of the fifteen, we will see Razzoli and Vinatzer. Debut for Canins.

Here last year he signed an amazing double, launching himself towards his third crystal ball in slalom, before the revolution started with the change of materials. Henrik Kristoffersen is perhaps the main favorite of the slalom which inaugurates the 2023 of the men's circuit, with the third appointment of the specialty that winks at the champion norge, who caught the number 1 for the challenge at the "Gudiberg" in Garmisch- Partenkirchen, the scene of a new night after Madonna di Campiglio, where HK94 has still touched the first hurray with Van Deer skis, of his great former rival Marcel Hirscher. At 15.40 on Wednesday the start of the 1st round of another confrontation that promises to be very tight and exciting between the great slalom athletes, who will then play it all out in the decisive run at 18.45 (Austrian and Swiss tracking, live TV is guaranteed on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport). The one in Bavaria will be the first of five slaloms in the space of three weeks, a great classic for January, with a splendid track like the Gudiberg which will also test the ambitions of Lucas Braathen, winner in Val d''Isère and then 4th in Campiglio , red bib and tomorrow at the start second after his compatriot and before the landlord Linus Strasser (bib 3). Will it be the day of redemption for Clément Noel, at gate number 4? Impossible to make any predictions with the Olympic champion, back from two forks, then here's Switzerland with Meillard spikes, who lost a great chance in Campiglio, and Yule who instead conquered 3Tre once again and is in full confidence . Bib number 6 for the Valaisan, while the first starting sub-group will be closed by Manuel Feller, preceding two other Norwegians with Foss-Solevaag (8) and McGrath (10), even if Ryding will be among them. Then Pinturault, a perky Jakobsen with the 12 and here is Tommaso Sala with the 13, before the Austrians Strolz and Schwarz. Casa Italia which will also count on Giuliano Razzoli, who came out of the fifteen by a whisker and at the start with bib number 16, and Alex Vinatzer (n° 20) among those who can play for something important. Much higher numbers for Maurberger, with the 35, Gross (38) and the two badiots Tobias Kastlunger (58) and Matteo Canins (64), the latter making his absolute debut in the World Cup.
