The first victory in Alta Badia of the French champion is worth the 15th seal among the wide doors, as many as Albertone (today in the parterre). "It was a very tight race. And how McGrath skied ...".

It is a very significant success, the one achieved today by Alexis Pinturault in the fourth giant of the season. Do you want because it is the first on the Gran Risa, the 31st of his trip to the World Cup and the 15th in giant, as many as a certain Alberto Tomba who was present today (as yesterday in Gardena) in the parterre of the race who, wide, is number 1.
In Alta Badia, the champion from Courchevel also rejoiced for the first time in a giant on Italian snow, since so far he had only won between Santa Caterina and Bormio (twice), always in combined. “It was a very tight race - he explained after the race - and for me it is a special day, because this track is simply a myth and I had never won on the Gran Risa. Today many skied well, look at McGrath ...
My mistake at the end of the wall? I thought about pushing for the whole heat, it was a struggle and you had to take all the risks, I think we can concede something. However, the road is still very long, with two slaloms awaiting us ”.
Pinturault has in fact jumped to the command of the overall, which he had already occupied after the first seasonal triumph, in the parallel of Lech / Zuers, but Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is behind by only one point and the Savoyard will have to make the most of tomorrow's slalom, always in Badia, and on Tuesdays in Campiglio. With Henrik Kristoffersen, already over 200 points behind, who will have to unleash his horses between the narrow poles in the long-distance fight with the possible (but let's remember what happened last season ...) great rival for the absolute crystal ball.
