The startlist of the third specialty challenge of the season, scheduled from 11.30 on Thursday: Domme without references, Kriechmayr will look for an encore starting as the last big name (with n° 13). Watch out for Franzoni with size 32, after the first points won in the downhill.

The show is not comparable to that of the descent on the Stelvio, but also the super-g of Bormio, which starts just above the Pian dell''Orso area, with a series of big bends that leads after about twenty seconds immediately to the area of the Carcentina is not joking at all.
This will be the theater of the third appointment of CdM for a specialty still awaiting dates and locations of the two recoveries still in play: the favorites for the second Valtellina race, the last of 2022 for men, can only be Marco Odermatt and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, both leaders with the red bib thanks to a 1st and 2nd place between Lake Louise and Beaver Creek. The start at 11.30 tomorrow (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai 2), with a Norwegian drawing by the hand of an expert technician like Anderson and AAK who will try to make the most of it, to attempt an encore in 2021 and continue the streak of podiums after today's downhill.
Kilde will have the number 9 and will observe the great rival, given that the lighthouse of the general classification of CdM will have the bib number 7; among them, a loose cannon like James Crawford, amazing 2nd today and perhaps even more dangerous in super-g.
To open the race, and it is certainly not good news since there will be no reference on a track where there is a need for it in particular for the section between Carcentina and Ciuk, will be Dominik Paris who picked bib number 1 and will precede Ferstl, Sejersted (watch out for the Norwegian "mad horse") and Gino Caviezel, but above all Mattia Casse who will probably be the best blue card on Thursday too.
Number 5 for the Piedmontese, 9th in the downhill but ready to play for at least a top five chance in what would be his favorite discipline: after Casse, Matthias Mayer is expected to leave, but it will be necessary to understand if the Olympic champion will recover after the forfeit today to support his teammate Kriechmayr, who will look for an encore on the Stelvio starting 13th, between Pinturault (n° 11, can do very well in this technical context) and Cochran-Siegle, bib number 15 and who obtained the only success in the cup precisely in Bormio, with an authentic masterpiece two years ago (and today it has launched signs of recovery after the change of materials, placing 5th).
Speaking of absences, Italy without "Gugu" Bosca, who in the end decided to give up, and with Innerhofer third athlete at the start with number 26; after the South Tyrolean, today decidedly below expectations, many hopes for a level placement by Giovanni Franzoni, in his favorite discipline with the n° 32 and the confidence deriving from the 26th place of the first challenge on the Stelvio, his first points in a descent of CdM. Let's remember what the Bresciano had done in Beaver Creek, before going out on the last jump...
With higher numbers, even if the track will be in top condition and the performances will remain of high quality, Matteo Franzoso with the 36, Matteo Marsaglia with the 43 and Florian Schieder, higher and higher on the descents, to finish with the 49.
