It will be a particular debut in the World Cup, in the temple of the Gran Risa, the track par excellence if we talk about a giant. Now it is official the decision, now in the air for days, by the technical staff of the national team as regards the technical disciplines; the dt Roberto Lorenzi has in fact summoned Giovanni Franzoni and Filippo Della Vite, the most anticipated class of 2001 among the various blue groups, for the giant on Sunday in Alta Badia, the fourth specialty of the season. With one place more than the two races in Santa Caterina Valfurva, nine men will go in search of that podium that is missing from the giant four years ago on the Gran Risa, with the 3rd place obtained by Florian Eisath behind Marcel Hirscher and Mathieu Faivre. Daniele Sorio, who did not collect points in the first rounds, will remain out, as well as Manfred Moelgg and Simon Maurberger who, for various reasons after their respective stops, will focus primarily on the slalom of 21 and 22 December right between Alta Badia and Campiglio. With Roberto Nani who has a steady job in his pocket, here is obviously Luca De Aliprandini, fresh from 6th place in the giant number 2 of Santa Caterina and who dreams of the first podium in CdM, Giovanni Borsotti, Alex Hofer, Riccardo Tonetti, the badiota Hannes Zingerle (home race for him) and Stefano Baruffaldi, for the first time in the points in the last giant. And then here they are, the two very young Lombards: Giovanni, from Brescia, part of the European Cup group, is growing dramatically as demonstrated by the first three giants of the season in the continental circuit, with a 10th and a 7th place in Gurgl before the 5th of Zinal. Filippo, just over six months younger than his peer, is a Bergamasco who from the C / Junior team was able, in a very short time, to rise higher and higher, and also won the last giant disputed, at the beginning week in the FIS of Folgaria. Where he clearly beat a certain River Radamus, who now regularly attends the World Cup.
