The blue leader comes out after 20 seconds, Della Vite close to the top 15.

A master's first heat, with a lot of anger in the body for yesterday's "defeat", with the desire to take the tenth victory in a giant of CdM, the second on the Gran Risa. Marco Odermatt dominates in the middle of the race of appointment number 2 in Alta Badia, completely overturning what was seen yesterday in the opening run: despite the layout of the Slovenian home was similar to the German one 24 hours earlier, i.e. very closed, the king in the cup he makes a vacuum by closing with a clear 6 tenths of advantage over Henrik Kristoffersen, curiously the same gap that the Norwegian had yesterday from Kranjec. In front of the eyes of Marcel Hirscher, who dreams of his first victory as a constructor with HK94, the Norwegian champion remains the only one of the two Scandinavians capable of signing the brace on Sunday, given that Lucas Braathen comes out with a block attack, with a fatal rotation at the winner of race-1, as well as in the second heat (starting from 13.30) we will not see Manuel Feller. Thus, in third place with more than a second behind Odermatt, there is Loic Meillard who saves himself with the best final partial, however paying 1”10 from his compatriot; at 1"22 here is Zan Kranjec, who is unable to repeat the masterpiece of yesterday's premiere, but is fourth ahead of Marco Schwarz, again excellent 5th at 1"59, and Alexis Pinturault, 6th at 1"64 . Shocking gaps (the track, it must be said, didn't give much away even today after the first 7-8 numbers) and another disappointment for Luca De Aliprandini: the blue leader goes out after 20 seconds of the race, with the usual excessive inclination in the unforgiving left corner, for the third "zero" in four giants of the season and the trust that is no longer there.
