In Adelboden the fifth giant of the season, with the transalpine trimming almost a second to Odermatt and Zubcic, Kristoffersen even further away. The Trentino at 2 "64 already seems out of the game: second heat at 1.15pm.

Perfect, able to take advantage of the number 1 and the tracking of his technician Munier, but it was a sumptuous Alexis Pinturault that seen in the first heat of the giant from Adelboden.
Four years after his first and only triumph over Chuenisbargli, the transalpine already seems very close to the encore, considering that he was able to trim almost a second to the first pursuers, a huge margin in view of the 2nd heat (starting at 1.15 pm). The World Cup leader in fact sails with 96 cents on Odermatt and 97 on Zubcic, with Ford at 1 "15 starting with a bib number 2 which certainly helped the American, given that the track was in perfect condition, but it was scored more than expected.
Then there is a lot of Norway at the foot of the virtual podium, on which Zan Kranjec, the outgoing winner in the Swiss temple and forced to forfeit, after the reconnaissance, due to back pain that also forced Roberto Nani into the pits (hoping to recover for the giant encore on Saturday); Nestvold-Haugen leads the Scandinavian patrol, 5th at 1 "42 from Pinturault, then a Kristoffersen still suffering between the wide doors (+1" 52), preceding Meillard, the only "intruder" (+1 "57 for the Swiss ), Kilde (1 ”82, still a good run in the giant) and Braathen ninth at 2 seconds flat.
Bad, objectively, Luca De Aliprandini: starting with number 8, the Trentino man made a mistake since the conclusion of the initial wall, continuing to mess around and mistake the interpretation of an arrhythmic (but very interesting) track, up to finish at 2 "64 from the top, currently in the top 15 area and waiting to see the other 7 blues with high bibs.
