The World Cup rankings after the first giant from Adelboden: the Frenchman needs the extension before suffering in the slalom, while Odermatt will play the defense of his red bib tomorrow. WCSL upset by injuries and absences.

Another push in the crystal ball dream race. It is the one given today by Alexis Pinturault in the giant that opened the three days of Adelboden, but it is equally clear that the Frenchman, decidedly subdued in slalom, right between the wide doors must gain the necessary margin to resist Kilde then protagonist in the fast races.
Will it be a duel? No, Henrik Kristoffersen and Marco Odermatt himself are still in the running, God forbid, but the performance of the absolute Cup holder, now fourth also in giant (equal to his best career result), suggests that Kilde is the direct rival between Pinturault and the dream of the overall that the 29-year-old from Courchevel has been chasing for years.
Alexis who shortened to -10 from Odermatt in the giant cup (which he never won in his career), waiting for a new challenge in the sixth specialty appointment scheduled for Saturday on Chuenisbargli, with only Filip Zubcic who seems able to fighting with them for the final standings, also considering that Kranjec's double forfeit means seeing the Slovenian now a long way off after this weekend.
The giant's WCSL, on the other hand, is conditioned by absences and injuries, given that Kranjec and Braathen will be missing from the top 15 tomorrow, but in the case of the Norwegian it will be like this for the rest of the season, and Loic Meillard entered the top 7 overtaking Nestvold -Haugen, however still in the first group thanks to the stop of Kranjec himself. For Luca De Aliprandini, the 13th place thus becomes an 11th, a hundred points from that 7th-8th place that seemed achievable, before the disaster in Badia and today's difficult race.
