Alpine Skiingmen's world cup
The regrets of the Frenchman, who did not have the chance to try the counterpoint on Kilde: "It hurts when you win the most races of all and they cancel almost a quarter of the technical tests ...".

He has always called it his great dream and never like this year, with the withdrawal of his "black beast" Marcel Hirscher, did he come very close to the goal.
Alexis Pinturault missed 54 points, to raise that absolute crystal ball that everyone predicted would go to the transalpine or to the direct rival Henrik Kristoffersen. Aleksander Aamodt Kilde thought about mocking both of them, demonstrating that a multipurpose player can fight for the World Cup, especially with the cancellation of many technical races that have rebalanced the situation.
In the end, in fact, 9 downhill runs, 6 super-gs, 7 giants and 9 slaloms, with 2 parallels and 3 combined. Just the failure to dispute the last three slaloms on the calendar, as well as two giants, represents a regret for Pinturault himself: "Of course, the cancellation of almost a quarter of the technical races is annoying - the 28-year-old from Courchevel told Ski Chrono - Giusto did it end like this? It is difficult to answer, the situation was difficult and we all know it, unfortunately I did not have the chance to play it for the general and giant cup.
We will go on vacation sooner than expected, even if we will try some tests. We will see day by day ... ".
Alexis recalls: “I won six races (as in 2015/16, his record equaled, ed) and I finished second, the rankings remain and are still positive. I'll try to build on this to try again. "
