Fear for Reichelt, while Dressen explains the flat rate: "The knee has swelled, now I think of January"

It is feared for the Austrian veteran's right knee, carried away by helicopter after the fall on the Stelvio. The German is targeting Wengen.

If the career of Hannes Reichelt is likely to end in the curves of Pian dell''Orso, with the compression and the subsequent fall in the Stelvio nets, we will find out shortly and after the last tests carried out on the right knee of the Austrian veteran, so painful to be immediately transported by helicopter to the heart of the Bormio descent. So much concern for an injury that could prove serious, while Thomas Dressen's missed departure after 9th place yesterday also made headlines. The explanation was provided by the same German champion, winner of the inaugural Lake Louise race, but now 163 points away from Dominik Paris in the downhill classification. “The knee (the right one, destroyed 13 months ago in Beaver Creek, ed.) Swelled after the first race and this morning, although I wanted to try, the situation had not improved. We therefore opted to avoid the race and aim for the January races ”. Then viewfinder on the descent of Wengen, the fifth of the season and set for Saturday 18 January.
