An excellent heat, yet another confirmation of a status now acquired, because Alex Vinatzer starts in every slalom to play at least for the podium. With the bib n ° 8, on the already evident holes of a "Crveni Spust" which he will give up definitively during the first heat of this slalom in Zagreb that has disappointed everyone, the 22-year-old Italian leader was able to finish fourth, at 87 cents by Sebastian Foss-Solevaag but close to the podium area, even if judging the tests of many quality opponents, we think first of all of Kristoffer Jakobsen forced to start with number 15 in pitiful conditions, today was really difficult. "Vinny", however, is there, and how, even if these two days spent waiting for a slalom that will never take place seemed useless. "I made a mistake in the first part - Alex's comment to Rai Sport's microphones, analyzing the only real flaw of his test, which cost at least 3 tenths - then it went better on the plan, with a series of doors a little 'to the limit but good. In the final part there was already a bit of a sign, but we have to adapt because we are in the World Cup and I always think only of doing my best ". Honest and elegant to avoid any controversy, even if there is some to be said about the attempt to compete in this race at any cost. While captain Moelgg, Gross and Sala, today not even started as Maurberger, can already think about Sunday's slalom in Adelboden, already Saturday on Chuenisbargli it will be time to get back on track for "Maubi" and just for Vinatzer, expected again in a giant of CdM after the debut in Soelden. All rushing to Switzerland now, where the technical context will be very different from the holes and the controversies in Zagreb.
