France replaces Pinturault with ... Sarrazin, the man of the Gran Risa: "And tomorrow in parallel ..."

The 25 year old from Gap, sensational 2nd in today's giant recovering from 22nd place, is already thinking about Monday's race and in which he triumphed 3 years ago ...

On the day when Alexis Pinturault leaves heavy points on the plate in the race for the World Cup, finishing only 8th on a track that the Savoyard has never loved, France finds another podium with a protagonist who instead loves the Gran Risa madness, especially the final stretch with the infamous cat humps. It is precisely there that Cyprien Sarrazin built his incredible 2nd place today, three tenths from the victory and recovering from the 22nd place in the 1st heat; to be honest, the 25 year old from Gap had already sent signals with the 13th place in Beaver Creek and his career was conditioned by a series of injuries, just after his first and only career victory that arrived in Alta Badia. Three years ago, in the second edition of the parallel giant Badiota, the good Sarrazin folded everyone, even taking the final against Carlo Janka without a stick, lost at the start. Today the second podium in the World Cup: "It is great to come back right here, after so many physical problems - the words of the transalpine in the parterre of the Gran Risa - Clearly the track conditions in the 2nd heat allowed me to reassemble so much , but it's a time when I'm skiing well and the second one was almost perfect. The parallel of tomorrow? Yes, I bet because I like it a lot and on these humps ... I am in awe ".
