After the super-g brought home today, it's time for the queen race in the Stelvio temple. The toughest descent of the circuit / (the third seasonal after Val d''Isère and Val Gardena), don't want Kitzbuehel (which has a higher appeal, God forbid), which goes on stage with a couple of days late compared to the original program and 72 hours from the last race held last Sunday.
Wednesday at 11.30 (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), with favorable weather forecasts as for the first speed challenge of the two-day race in Bormio of the men's circuit, Dominik Paris will therefore go hunting for what would be his sixth triumph on his track. Of course, we all know very well how difficult it will be for the Italian champion, still not in top condition after returning after injury, but who in the second round had sent very good signals, 1 "20 from that Cochran-Siegle who today dominated the super -g.
Today went less well in Domme, 18th, but the descent can be another story and the goal must be at least to stay there, close to the best: bib 15 for the ace of Val d''Ultimo . The favorite can only be Ryan Cochran-Siegle himself, best time both Saturday and Sunday and today ... monstrous. He will start with bib n ° 7, after Kilde (5) and before Feuz (9), who will certainly have to suffer on the Stelvio to try to conquer at least the podium. Maximum attention to Kriechmayr and Mayer, with 11 and 13, but also to Urs Kryenbuehl himself (2nd a breath away from Paris in the encore descent a year ago), already very fast in super-g and increasingly one guarantee in speed, and to other Americans in condition such as Bennett (12), Ganong (20) and Goldberg, who will start with 27 before Sejersted, now third in super-g. As is well known, there will be no Jansrud, who did not take part in the tests to focus on the super-g (finished in 6th place), Marco Odermatt will try instead at the start with the 31st.
The first of only six blues at the start will be Christof Innerhofer, who has drawn number 8, Marsaglia will have 29, Buzzi 32, Cazzaniga 38 and Pietro Zazzi will be the last of the 51 athletes starting above the Rocca, for the his second race in the World Cup after having already touched the first points today. More generally, after the super-g disaster as an overall result, he expects a major reaction from his teammates.
