It is the week of the â€œItalianâ€ European Cup, between Pozza di Fassa, Obereggen and Kronplatz for the men's circuit, while the girls will be exalted in the descents on â€œLa Volataâ€ of Passo San Pellegrino, before they too dispute parallel slalom on Saturday night. Today it's slalom time, for the very classic â€œAlochâ€ which, in the heart of Val di Fassa, will also host many protagonists of the World Cup: starting from the host Stefano Gross, fresh from the amazing 3rd place on the Face de Bellevarde and at the starting gate with the bib number 16 in the first run, scheduled from 14.30 (the second at 6.15 pm, in that case with live TV on Raisport). After the two inaugural slaloms of Funesdalen, in Sweden, he leads the specialty ranking Linus Strasser, though injured by the scaphoid of his right hand a few days later and therefore absent, while there will be the general European Cup leader, Tommaso Sala, although not at best after the ankle problem suffered last week in Sestriere and that has also affected him in the World Cup slalom in Val d''IsÃ¨re. A race to be followed on NEVEITALIA, starting at 2.30 pm with the FIS live timing service. CLICK HERE FOR THE LIVE TIMING FIS The startlist of the 1st round sees three Norwegians in the opening, with Haugan, Nordbotten and Brudevoll in the order, before the Russian Alexander Khoroshilov with the 4 (returned to CdM yesterday after the accident before Levi), with the French Buffet, winner of the Santa Caterina Valfurva combo, of the same Tommaso Sala and of the Austrian Gstrein to close the first subgroup. Giordano Ronci, returning after missing the trip to Funesdalen and second in the first FIS slalom in Pampeago a few days ago, will have the number 8 and precede the third blue at the start, Stefano Gross with the 16th. Bacher and Vaccari (20 and 21) called to the rescue, but also Liberatore himself with 23 and then, from 46 onwards, the many boys of a C team protagonist of an excellent start to the season.
