First round of the thrilling giant from Adelboden: the blue, still in command at the last intermediate, gets on and ends up in the nets while the cup leader places himself in front of Pinturault for 3 tenths.

A fantastic Chuenisbargli, a tough track (with a drawing by the blue technician Walter Girardi) and an Italian dream that vanishes at its best.
Halfway through the race of the giant from Adelboden there is always him, Marco Odermatt, in front of everyone with a final wall brushed by a master to trim over half a second to all rivals. Just at the start of the final abyss of the temple track, the crazy race of Luca De Aliprandini stopped: phenomenal the first heat of the Trentino up to that moment, still 23 cents ahead of the Swiss phenomenon, with many risks taken to track the most direct line possible on the bumps of the central part.
Then an excess of cut and here, in the left curve at the beginning of the diagonal that leads to the final wall, the fatal fork and the flight into the nets, apparently without too much physical damage even if the situation will be evaluated in the next few hours ( Luca complains of pain in his left leg).
Odermatt therefore leads with 31 hundredths of a margin on Alexis Pinturault (best time trial until the last intermediate), who wants another pearl on "his" track but will have to overcome himself in the 2nd heat, starting at 13.30, then in the second half here are Zubcic and Faivre, before the gap behind him as Manuel Feller is currently 5th, with many errors and 1 ”17 to recover.
