A nice tile, for the one who together with Stefano Gross first and Alex Vinatzer then, had brought the blue slalom back to the top last season, even touching the podium in probably the most beautiful race of his career, the night of Schladming.
Right at the top of his career, after having done very well even in the giant, Simon Maurberger had to stop in Chamonix, last February 9, when in full battle to play for something "big" in terms of results in the last parallel giant of the World Cup, he had broken the cruciate and the lateral meniscus of his right knee.
Classic stop of at least 6-7 months and the hope of being ready for the 2020/2021 season: everything had gone well until autumn, with the resumption on skis in the very first days of September, training with companions team for the whole month of October, especially in Val Senales, with the renunciation of Soelden "as not yet 100% ready to compete". Then, however, Maurberger accused some problems with that injured right leg and, after missing the last rallies, including the one that in these days sees the gigantists engaged in Cervinia, here is the announcement of the same slalomgigantista of Valle Aurina. “Pit stop: due to some tibial plateau problems, I will only be forced to rest and therapy for the next few weeks. I hope to return as soon as possible ".
There is no parallel, specialty where the 25-year-old South Tyrolean is ultra competitive, next November 27 in Lech / Zuers, but above all goodbye to the giants of Val d''Isère (December 5-6) and clearly the start of the slalom season is also highly at risk, with the events on the Italian snows of the Gran Risa in Alta Badia and of the 3Tre in Madonna di Campiglio, in the two days of 21-22 December, at very high risk.
An uphill season for one of the most anticipated Azzurri, hoping to save at least the great world dream of Cortina.
