The giant on the Rettenbach is just an appetizer, but the big favorite for the bis crystal ball is already in front of everyone; Kristoffersen, off on the right foot, while Pinturault seems anchored to last season. De Aliprandini is now out of the top 7 of specialties, but there are few points to recover from Meillard.

Soelden classic opening of a men's World Cup which, unlike the women's sector, began its journey along 41 races (instead of the 43 initially planned, since the two descents of Zermatt-Cervinia will not be recovered) from the great challenge on Rettenbach .
And at the top of all the rankings there is already him, Marco Odermatt, who did not betray the expectations and made "100" already at the first opportunity, escaping among other things from the potential, main rival for the crystal ball absolute, a great Aleksander Aamodt Kilde who, however, was unable to materialize by derailing in the 2nd heat.
Henrik Kristoffersen, among the candidates for the “coppone” dream, is the one who has done better behind the holder of the most important trophy, while he has disappointed expectations with an anonymous 20th place Alexis Pinturault, never really convincing even in the first heat.
In terms of discipline, the change in the WCSL top 7 should be noted as Luca De Aliprandini, with today's zero, lost the first subgroup to Loic Meillard (7th at the finish), but is still 8th at only 17 lengths from the Swiss. An important figure for the Val d''Isère race on 10 December, even if the Trentino rider has all the time and the possibility to return, perhaps already in France in order to launch himself at his best towards the two giants of the following week on the Gran Risa , where last year he took his first podium in the World Cup.
Giovanni Borsotti, the only Italian in the points today, is the other blue in the thirties but dangerously close to the "border": we have already seen today how much the high pectorals have been decisive in negative for the various Maurberger, Tonetti, Della Vite and Franzoni.
The next appointment with the men's World Cup, considering the double cancellation of the descents, which should have taken place on October 29-30, of the speed opening of Zermatt-Cervinia, is already set for Sunday November 13 when also the men, 24 hours later the girls will be involved in the parallel (the only one of the season, apart from the World Cup) of Lech / Zuers.
