The giant on Podkoren sees the transalpine just 11 cents from the Swiss and with a good margin on the direct rival Odermatt. Luca, for the first time in 7, pays over 2 seconds.

A shocking first heat for Luca De Aliprandini, who had a great chance starting for the first time in the top 7 and even with number 1, in a giant from Kranjska Gora who instead sees the blue already far from all games for the podium.
On a Podkoren with a lot of grip, in literally spring conditions (but still very well prepared as always), the vice world champion just misses the interpretation without references, too conservative and in the end the beauty of 2 "04 from Loic Meillard , who starts immediately after him and signs the absolute best time.
Glued to the Swiss, and perhaps still the main favorite thinking of the 2nd heat (scheduled at 12.30), there is the specialty and general leader, an Alexis Pinturault in perfect position since he has a margin of half a second clear against his direct rival Marco Odermatt, fourth at + 0 "61 and preceded by 9 cents by a Stefan Brennsteiner who, having returned to the top 15 (starting with 11), continues in his magic moment with the third time at half race.
Fifth at 64 cents from Meillard is world champion Mathieu Faivre, who starts slowly and then travels with the pace of the first two, followed in sixth place (+ 0 "83) by Gino Caviezel, then by Schmid (7 ° at 88 cents), Zubcic who pays 93 and Favrot at 1 "01, in front of Henrik Kristoffersen just out of the top ten with 1" 24 behind (in front of him the teammate Nestvold-Haugen at 1 "18) , starting for the first time in years out of 7 (with bib 13).

Nella località cilena, il campione olimpico di gigante è tornato in pista dopo il primo blocco di Ushuaia; Lucas vuole tornare con costanza anche alla disciplina veloce che lo vide laurearsi vice campione del mondo jr nel 2019 e debuttare alla grande in CdM a fine 2022, ma che per diversi motivi aveva messo da parte. Approccio con fiducia opposta per le due discesiste rossocrociate (con i colleghi uomini in arrivo nelle prossime ore), nel primo camp sudamericano senza Lara Gut-Behrami.
