On Monday (10 am and 1 pm the times of the two heats) the recovery of the race skipped today, with the weather that should lend a hand to the organization. De Aliprandini will have the number 13.

Crossing your fingers to find conditions that give at least a little hand to the extraordinary Valtellinese organizational machine, the second time should be the good one, to stage the giant bis in Santa Caterina Valfurva, third seasonal test between the wide doors for the Cup of the male world.
Forty-eight hours after the triumph on Saturday signed by Filip Zubcic, on Monday on the Deborah Compagnoni a race should be regularly staged which, after the 24-hour postponement, will be held with the first heat at 10 and the second at 13 (both in live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport, respectively US and Norwegian tracking), on the surface of a track that should not cause too many problems if, as the weather predicts, the temperatures will drop tonight after a lot of snow arrived this weekend so complicated to manage.
The winner of race 1, precisely the unleashed Zubcic capable of reassembling everyone in an amazing second heat, will start immediately after Tommy Ford, who in the new bib draw picked up the number 1 (who in the meeting on Saturday afternoon ended up on the shoulders of Henrik Kristoffersen). In the first group, then, in order, the norge duo formed by Nestvold-Haugen and Kristoffersen, called to redeem the 22nd place on Saturday, then Kranjec (place of honor for the Slovenian in the first giant, but after having commanded until the last intermediate), the cup leader Pinturault and the red bib Marco Odermatt, on his debut as number 1 in the discipline after being on the podium just over 24 hours ago.
The Swiss is literally scary, but the race for the podium, especially if the mantle can harden at best, could be open to many protagonists of the second sub-group, from Braathen (bib 12) to Meillard (14), as well as Kilde (15) and, for the blue hopes, maybe even a Luca De Aliprandini who certainly did not show a great feeling on the Compagnoni on Saturday, finishing only 22nd.
The Trentino rider will start 13th out of the 69 starters (the same as on Saturday), the other seven blues with race bibs 1: Borsotti with 27, Tonetti with 36, Nani with 38, then 47 from Zingerle, 57 from Sorio and Baruffaldi's 58, finally Alex Hofer with the number 61 to try to redeem a very disappointing first giant in Italy.
