A colossal challenge, uncertain as never before, even if the favorite for the opening can only be the one who won in the last two times in which the men's giant of Soelden was played.
Alexis Pinturault triumphed over Rettenbach in 2016 and 12 months ago (in the middle the two canceled editions) and yet another assault on the World Cup dream will start from a track so dear to him: bib number 7 for the Frenchman, in the first heats starting at 10.00 (2nd scheduled at 1.15 pm) and designed by his coach Perrin, immediately after the great rival Henrik Kristoffersen and Filip Zubcic, among the most anticipated men with the 5. To open another among the very favorites, the Slovenian Zan Kranjec (3rd last year), then Faivre, who was second in 2019, and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde with 3rd.
Italy is on the shoulders of Luca De Aliprandini, at the start for tenth on a Rettenbach that looks polished and with a much better weather than yesterday morning for the women's race.
First heat to be followed on NEVEITALIA, starting at 10.00 with the FIS live timing service.

The other Azzurri will start far behind, starting with Giovanni Borsotti who will have bib number 29. With 33 and 34 here is the highlander Manni Moelgg, Rettenbach in 13th, and Roberto Nani, then Sorio and Baruffaldi with 48 and 49 before Tommaso Sala, who will close with the 54th of the 62 starters overall.
