LIVE from Bormio: everything is ready on the "Stelvio" for the men's downhill, the voices after the reconnaissance

At 11.30 the start of a highly anticipated race: after sleet and fog, overcast skies but it will be a great show with Kriechmayr to open the challenge before Innerhofer, Kilde with No. 7 and then Dominik Paris with 9. Marsaglia: "Less tough than expected, but it will be top ". LIVE on NEVEITALIA.

The thrills of the "Stelvio", even more insidious for everyone on such a day, given that in Bormio it's time for the descent, the fourth of the men's World Cup, which opens a great triptych of competitions, and the sky is overcast after the light snowfall of the night. Six blues at the start, with Christof Innerhofer immediately with bib number 2 (preceded by Kriechmayr), Dominik Paris who chose number 9 and will see the main rivals start first (Mayer with 3, Feuz 5, Kilde 7), even if it could be a very open challenge, even to Mattia Casse and Matteo Marsaglia, starting respectively with 25 and 26. Our Alessandro Bergomi, sent to Bormio, heard Marsaglia himself after the survey: "The situation has already improved, there will be no problems starting from above and, with this visibility, it is almost better since there is no light-shadow contrast . Slightly less difficult after the sleet, but it is top. My goal? I'm skiing well, I just want to field what I know how to do ”. We also intercepted Max Blardone, before he got into the Rai cabin for the technical commentary of the race: "It is not glass like the other editions up to San Pietro, then from there the snow changes completely, it is very fine and it will be necessary to sip the grip edge. Favorites? Difficult to say, but ours will be there ". Bormio men's descent that you can follow on NEVEITALIA, starting at 11.30 with the FIS live timing service.
