The speed was there, all right, but a couple of gross errors had cost him first the victory in Levi, then the entire race in Val d''IsÃ¨re, and then he also went out immediately in the parallel giant in Alta Badia to whom he kept a lot. His "month", that of the slalom in which to prove he can be the strongest of all, even of the now ex-leader of specialty Henrik Kristoffersen, however, began at a great pace for ClÃ©ment Noel; in one fell swoop, with the success of Zagreb (where he finished 4th in last year) the 22 year old transalpine took the first triumph of the season, fourth in his career and, above all, red bib for the first time in his anchor very young career (with Myhrer now 5 punticini away). A perfect evening on Sljeme, with the comeback from fourth place in the 1st heat (where he had made a serious mistake) which was enough to burn Zenhaeusern by only 7 cents: "It is a fantastic result, in an atmosphere that exalts - said Noel after the race - starting the year in this way is simply the best, it was a perfect second run and it was enough to win. The race in Val d''IsÃ¨re? Yes, it had been a great disappointment, but it is not a revenge. I only thought about getting ready to try and win, as always. I'm the second French to do it here, 11 years after Grange. Jean-Baptiste was my model when I was very young, for me it's a great pride ".
