The winner of last year travels with 36 cents on Foss-Solevaag after the 1st heat, many regrets for Alex since the track this time has held up. The other Azzurri are far away, second at 15.30.

A fatal fork, in the right curve on the first wall of the Crveni Spust, after just 15 seconds of the race.
Thus ended the slalom of Zagreb for Alex Vinatzer, the rising star who was highly anticipated after the 4th and 3rd place in the opening between Alta Badia and Madonna di Campiglio. In spite of forecasts, with the slight lowering of temperatures and the response of the salt, in the first heat on the Sljeme hill it was possible to make the time even with higher bibs (as many athletes have shown) and the Gardena, starting with the '' 11, really had the chance to gamble, among other things on the design of his technician Jacques Theolier.
Too bad, also because there was the possibility of entering the WCSL top 7 thinking about next Sunday's slalom in Adelboden, not to mention the specialty ranking with Alex third, 30 points behind Kristoffersen, on the eve of this third round of the season .
Halfway through the race (the second heat is scheduled at 3.30 pm) a splendid Clément Noel commands, the real is back ... Noel, after the two dull tests in Italy: winner here last year, the 23-year-old transalpine digs a furrow starting with the number 7 and trimming 36 cents to Sebastian Foss-Solevaag (who started with 2), who may have regrets for a mistake on the final wall, after having clearly signed the best time trial until the last intermediate, only to lose 8 full tenths from Noel in the last ten doors.
In third partial place, after a great start to the season with podium on the Gran Risa and 4th place on Canalone Miramonti, a Manuel Feller who pays only 51 cents (starting with n ° 14), but was clearly the best in the high of the track. He is followed by compatriot Marco Schwarz, fourth at 78 cents from the top, then there is Muffat-Jeandet fifth at + 0 "89, 3 cents better than Alexis Pinturault.
Seventh place, at 96 cents, for Linus Strasser who anticipates Fabio Gstrein (very good with 20, at 99 cents) and Filip Zubcic, in the best run of his career in slalom on his home track, ninth at 1 "00 starting with 16. Posting already very wide (but let's remember Campiglio) for Henrik Kristoffersen, who started with the '1, 1 ”03 away from Noel and with a feeling that continues to be totally negative with Zagreb and a slope (and a snow condition) that certainly does not enhances the features.
Just out of the top ten Daniel Yule, disappointing with 1 "13 to recover, as is Ramon Zenhaeusern, at 1" 35 for a Switzerland that can eat hands especially for the exit of Loic Meillard, who was traveling strong .
