Monstrous Norwegians on the real Saslong: Kilde and Jansrud dominate the last test, the Azzurri suffer

Second timed test in Val Gardena and important values come out on the complete track, with Marsaglia at 2 seconds and Innerhofer and Paris beyond (paying a lot at the start). Friday off to the two days of racing with the super-g.

Impressive. On the other hand, in Val Gardena they really feel at home having won nine of the last fifteen races held on the Saslong. Here then is that the Norwegians have decided to send a very important signal, towards the races on Friday (super-g) and Saturday (descent, again at 11.45 am), dominating the second and last test. On the real, complete Saslong (yesterday the initial section was removed due to fog) and decidedly tough, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Kjetil Jansrud made the void; the holder of the absolute crystal ball with the best time, the reigning world champion following him by only 26 cents. Attention, because even without the man who has triumphed here three times and is still recovering after yet another injury, and we are talking about Steven Nyman, the Americans are also very fast. Yesterday with Goldberg and Bennett in front of everyone, today with Jared himself fourth at 66 cents from Kilde (with a scary final stretch), Cochran-Siegle 5th at seven tenths and in front of Bryce Bennett himself, all three but behind a excellent Max Franz who seems to have found himself here (where he won the first of his three races in the CdM with the 2016 downhill) and sets the third fastest time, with only 52 cents behind. Kriechmayr is also in the top ten, starting with 1 and growing, seventh at 1 ”12 ex aequo with Weber, preceding Baumann, Allegre and Mauro Caviezel (with his hand he goes better and tomorrow will be very dangerous in super-g). More distant, on the other hand, big expected ones like Mayer (at 1 "89) and Feuz (at 2" 12). The best Azzurri, however, have similar gaps: Matteo Marsaglia closes 18th at 1 ”99, Christof Innerhofer, on his 36th birthday, with 25th time at 2” 32 from the top, a tenth better than Paris. “Domme” lost a lot, 8 tenths from Kilde, in the first 28 seconds of the test, and then discreetly contained the rest of a Saslong who will have to digest the best by Saturday, who has always suffered here.
