Kristoffersen and Noel put a good face on a bad game: "We made mistakes, good Yule"

Word to the two references of the slalom, beaten in Campiglio and now divided by only two points in the specialty ranking. Pinturault fifth despite a virus: running towards Adelboden.

They were the two big favorites of the eve, as it will probably be for the rest of the season, albeit in a discipline that has so far seen four different winners. Henrik Kristoffersen and Clément Noel had to settle for 2nd and 3rd place respectively in the night of Madonna di Campiglio, both beaten by Daniel Yule and divided by just 10 cents in favor of the Norwegian, who thus recovered the leader's red bib towards the Frenchman, who follows him 2 points away (242 to 240). At the press conference, they both put a good face on a bad game, especially HK94 who already saw the three of a kind on the Miramonti Canal, at least until the final part of the 3Tre wall, when he also commanded against Yule: “I was wrong and I didn't win, but I congratulate Daniel - Kristoffersen's words - This is a race where I always feel good, it hasn't taken long to win again and it's a shame, but the result is still there. The general classification of the World Cup? I don't really care (now he's third only 4 points from Pinturault), I think race by race and tonight I just wanted to cross the finish line with the green light. To stay ahead in the standings you have to win races. " Clément Noel smiles halfway, aware that he has lost the chance to sign the encore after Zagreb in the first heat, which ended 8 tenths from Yule; the best time in the second in front of teammate Alexis Pinturault, who among other things ran away thinking of Adelboden, after competing in anything but good conditions (gastrointestinal problem for the new World Cup leader , however excellent 5th in comeback), it was not enough to triumph for the first time in Campiglio. “In the first heat I lost a lot on the wall, I made mistakes but I still managed to get on the podium - the analysis of the native talent of the Vosges - It is not important to have lost the red bib now, it matters to have it at the end of the season. In a cup view, it's still a good race. "
