The great duel at the Lenzerheide finals was expected since the fast races, with Alexis Pinturault defending only 31 points of margin on Marco Odermatt, but what happened between snow and fog with the cancellation of descent and super-g, has sent everything back to the giant on Saturday, however, favoring the situation of the Frenchman who will also have the slalom on Sunday at his disposal (where Odermatt, however, intends to leave).
The weather does not bode well for tomorrow, with the challenge between the wide doors starting at 9.00 as regards the 1st heat (the second at 12.00, with France and Norway to design the two tracks), opened by Pinturault. with bib n ° 1. The Frenchman, to close the accounts for the general at the same time, must recover 25 points from his direct rival, who will start with the 3, in the specialty ranking in which Odermatt would also triumph with the 2nd place ( Zubcic, at -99, is only in the running for arithmetic).
Between Alexis and Marco, he will come out of the gate with the n ° 2 Zan Kranjec, then here is Zubcic, Murisier, the world champion Faivre and Meillard, 2nd in the last specialty race in Kranjska Gora, while Luca De Aliprandini will start in the second under group, considering that in the finals the specialty WCSL (which sees the blue 7th) is not valid to establish the starting order, but the ranking itself of the Giant's World Cup. However, the vice world champion caught a good number 9, between Favrot and Kristoffersen, with dangerous athletes on the podium like Schmid and Brennsteiner, who will start with 11 and 12.
The second and only other blue at the start is Giovanni Borsotti, bib 21 before Lukas Feurstein, the junior world champion (beating Giovanni Franzoni) who will close the lot of starters.
