They are the terrible 2001 class of Italy, the nineteen years that many nations can envy us, because the level they have already reached at their age is truly remarkable.
Giovanni Franzoni and Filippo Della Vite will make their debut in the World Cup on Sunday, on the occasion of the giant of Alta Badia. The temple, the Gran Risa, the emotion of the first in the circuit of the greats, but Franzoni is well aware of what has been done to get to this point, as he explained through the press office of Energiapura who follows him personally, just like in the case of Della Vite. "Solid results arrived in the European Cup, first in Gurgl and then in Zinal (triple top ten in as many races, with 5th place in the last race in Switzerland), and thanks to the points update I was able to entering the top 80 of the world ranking - explains the man from Brescia from Manerbio del Garda - This gave me a chance to compete in the World Cup, but I felt I could have done it already this year.
However, I would not have expected a debut on the Gran Risa ... ":
Franzoni is a polyvalent and "competing a little in all disciplines we had to organize ourselves with the staff, to make this appointment match those of the European Speed Cup, also including some training (the blue took part in the first descent of CE in Santa Caterina Valfurva, touching the first points also in this specialty, ed). It is really nice to know that you can race in the maximum circuit. For sure there will be some agitation, it is normal I think and it will certainly be more difficult, but we will see how it goes ”.
If Franzoni's call-up was long overdue, also considering that already in the final of last season there was talk of it after the first podium in the European Cup in Sella Nevea (2nd in combined), for Filippo Della Vite the trial was accelerated in recent weeks. The Bergamo rider from Ponte Ranica has just won a high level FIS giant in Folgaria, just think that the second place was the American River Radamus, but there is no doubt about the talent. "It was great news, it is every skier's dream to make his debut on the Gran Risa which is the giant par excellence - the words of Filippo - I admit that I was almost amazed because the World Cup is always ... the World Cup World!
It's a totally new environment compared to the European Cup, I'm very happy but also very determined and I'll try to give my best ”.
