The eighth giant of the men's World Cup, the second in a row in Bansko after the victory obtained yesterday by Filip Zubcic, represents a crucial step in the fight for the crystal ball in the discipline.
Just the Croatian, today at the start with the bib number 6, undermines Alexis Pinturault (who has drawn the 4) for the leadership among the wide doors, having now to recover only 22 points. There is a Mathieu Faivre in great shape, eager to look for that second success in the cup after having touched it yesterday, but also the desire for redemption of the Swiss home (numbers 1 and 7 for Meillard and Odermatt) and ... Italy.
First round of the male giant from Bansko that you can follow on NEVEITALIA, starting at 10.00 with the FIS live timing service.

Eight blues at the start like yesterday. Luca De Aliprandini (bib 13) is looking for redemption and entry into the first sub-group for Kranjska Gora, as well as Tonetti and Borsotti, who will start for 23rd and 24th, can do much better than yesterday.
Then Moelgg with 33, Nani (35) and Hofer (37), before Zingerle (42) and Filippo Della Vite who, starting with bib 45, will hunt for other heavy points after the amazing 16th place of the first giant.
