Moelgg saves the blue hut: "We are worth more, we remain calm". Good signals from Maurberger

The Adelboden slalom saw Theolier's troop take home a 14th place with the Marebbano and an 18th place with the native of Valle Aurina, zero heavy for all the others. And Gross's crisis is scary.

“Today I tried it, it went well until the end of the wall, then I paid for the finish also because I lack a bit of strength and confidence, but I'm skiing well. It is a moment in which the team is not performing for what it is worth, we have to stay calm and continue to work to show that we can succeed ”. Words from a captain, words from Manfred Moelgg, the blue highlander who was, in fact, one of the two Azzurri to save himself in another very difficult slalom for the Italian national team in Adelboden, after the debacle in Zagreb. Marebbano 14th, a good Simon Maurberger 18th: of course, the 25-year-old from South Tyrol is not yet the one able to touch the podium in Schladming before the Crusader injury, but he is rising in level and is perhaps the best news in a day saw Alex Vinatzer waste another chance from the podium, if not from victory considering everything that happened in the second heat. Four races and four different winners, but the Azzurri are always too far from the fight, even if there will still be 5 opportunities between now and the World Championships in Cortina with the three great classics (Wengen, Kitz and Schladming) on the horizon. It's a race today on Chuenisbargli, which leaves regrets to Tommy Sala, who wasted in the second the double consecutive points placement, to Riccardo Tonetti who had qualified with 51 and traveled for the top 20, before derailing, and to Giuliano Razzoli himself who had barely entered the 30s as in Zagreb, but tried to attack to get something more than a few points, leaving and remaining 30th in the WCSL, already excluding the injured in front of the Olympic champion. A couple of positions in front of the list of specialties that establishes the starting order, there is a Stefano Gross in total crisis: lack of qualification in Zagreb, the same today (of course, not very lucky even on this occasion with 14 cents too much ), yet for the first time in a long time the Fassano had experienced an autumn preparation without physical obstacles. Wengen in the first place will really be a crossroads to try to turn a terribly uphill season.
