He is the big favorite and who knows if it is not a sign of fate, the number 1 caught for the third time in a row, after the slalom in Garmisch and today's giant, by a Henrik Kristoffersen who wants to end the Adelboden weekend with a bang .
The Norwegian ace is looking for the trio on Chuenisbargli, after the second place between the wide doors behind the unbeatable Odermatt, also to strengthen the red bib conquered with the first seal of the season last Wednesday.
Sunday the start from 10.30 for the 1st heat, appointment instead at 13.30 for the second, which will have blue tracking having been entrusted to the coach in charge of the Italian national team, Simone Del Dio. Live TV, for both runs, on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport.
If Kristoffersen is at the top of the prediction on the eve, those who arrived with him on the podium in Bavaria with him are certainly not to be underestimated, with Clément Noel who will start with the number 2 and Manuel Feller (just 15 pts from HK94 in the slalom ranking) with 3. And Lucas Braathen will have a great desire for redemption, out between Garmisch and the giant from Adelboden: bib 4 for the phenomenon of Brazilian origins, followed by a completely rediscovered Daniel Yule and with the desire and drive to try to get the second victory of his career in the Swiss house temple.
Bib number 5 for the Valaisan, followed by Strasser, fully recovered from the flu that had knocked him down before the home appointment that opened 2023 (where he threw a very probable 2nd place in the final), and Meillard already on the podium in giant and very dangerous.
Atle Lie McGrath has to start again and will try to do it with number 8, he back from three zeros in the discipline like Strolz (who will have the number 11), anticipating Tommaso Sala who was given bib number 9: the Brianza has improved further Garmisch, sixth, and can aim straight for the first podium in CdM, because by now he lacks almost nothing... backs apart.
From Jakobsen with 12, an authentic loose cannon, to Ryding and a Foss-Solevaag to find again, it wouldn't be surprising if names like Haugan (n° 16) and Gstrein (19) were to enter the challenge for the podium area. Among them, the second blue who is Giuliano Razzoli will start: bib number 18 for the Villaminozzese, back from the fork three days ago and with the aim of a good placement that can bring him back to the second subgroup area, around his classic favorites which are Wengen and Kitzbuehel.
The number 22 Alex Vinatzer, with no points this season, will have it: if the Gardenese finds a track (as it should be, given the excellent grip in the giant) still in good condition, he will be able to demonstrate that he has the speed to compete with all, but it is clear that now the psychological conditioning of the three forklifts in series will be felt. The one who instead arrives in great confidence at the race that 8 years ago saw him conquer his only success in the cup, is a Stefano Gross returning from the Garmisch comeback with the 5th place that brought him back to having a decent bib, or the 30.
Shortly after Simon Maurberger (n° 34), who is instead still suffering a bit, will leave, while Kastlunger will have bib number 55 on his shoulders and is called to the usual undertaking to overcome the cut, like Matteo Canins (who will come out of the gate for 63rd ), the second token in the World Cup.
