Pinturault and Kilde, the extension continues: Kristoffersen rolls over -300 and everything will be played in slalom

The rankings of the men's World Cup after the second giant of Adelboden: the transalpine still finds himself the holder of the crystal ball behind him, the truth in the 6 slalom in January.

Shoulder number 1, shoulder number 2 today. Alexis Pinturault is increasingly leading the overall standings of the World Cup (in addition to the specialty one, where he, Odermatt and Zubcic are the only ones still in the running with four races left on the calendar), after the wonderful double in the giants of Adelboden, but Aleksander Aamodt Kilde does not give up anything and, with a 4th and a 5th place, among other things just 4 cents from the podium in race 2, and would have been the first of his career among wide doors for the Norwegian, is only 115 points behind the French. Now a lot will depend on the performance of the Courchevel champion in the next 6 slaloms where, from tomorrow on Chuenisbargli and until January 30-31 in Chamonix, he will have to demonstrate that he can change gear and bring home at least placings close to the podium area. Kilde will be back at speed between Wengen, Kitzbuehel and "his" Garmisch, while he did not make the most of the two home races Marco Odermatt, still solid in third position as Filip Zubcic is playing a great season. Those who risk seeing the cup chances soon vanish is perhaps the main favorite on the eve of the season, calendar in hand with 11 slalom scheduled: we are talking about Henrik Kristoffersen, already over 300 points behind Pinturault and called to the rescue among the narrow poles to stay afloat. Finally, a look at the giant WCSL, which is very important considering that the next race will be that of the world championships in Cortina; considering Tommy Ford's injury, while Zan Kranjec will return for the world championship event, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is virtually in the top 7 having bypassed the unfortunate teammate Braathen and the other compatriot Nestvold-Haugen, with Luca De Aliprandini 11th and formally 9th, but in any case in the second sub-group to attempt the assault on the medal in the race that, especially for him as for many others, will be that of the year.
