They are the two big disappointed of the slalom last Sunday in Zagreb, but for both there is not even time to mull over the mistakes made, since on Wednesday evening in Madonna di Campiglio they will play a very important race for their Cup of Cup dreams World. Alexis Pinturault and Henrik Kristoffersen are now divided by 39 points, in favor of the Frenchman, but always behind Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Dominik Paris; they have already made a lot of mistakes and cannot afford other missteps, in the second of the six slaloms scheduled for January. Pinturault has some regrets, however, for 9th place on Sljeme: "I remember 99% of good corners and only one that cost me a lot - said the 28-year-old from Courchevel referring to the sensational mistake on the off the 1st heat - I did everything I could not get conditioned and I took the good of the 2nd heat, where I skied at ClÃ©ment levels (Noel, ed). Considering everything, 9th place is not to be thrown away â€. Twenty-nine points taken home against Kristoffersen's twelve, only 19th at the end of the worst slalom, in terms of pure performance (Henrik has made basically no mistake), which the Norwegian remembers in recent years. â€œOf course Zagreb is not my track - he said referring to the fact that he never won in those parts - but it is a very disappointing result. We must understand and work towards Campiglio ". It will be a completely different story on the Canalone Miramonti, where HK94 has already imposed itself twice, imposing itself in the editions of the 3T targate 2015 and 2016, when it also managed to beat Marcel Hirscher. It will take that Kristoffersen to get back in front and perhaps imagine that the great Austrian rival, who knew how to stimulate him, is still at the starting gate.
