The Val d''Isère slalom brought the French and Kristoffersen back, but the sprinters will have several chances until the end of the year. And "Domme" is there ...

A real tonnara.
It cannot be defined in any other way, the fight for the general classification of a men's World Cup which has two main favorites, which respond to the names of Alexis Pinturault and Henrik Kristoffersen, but which remains very open to several contenders, given that the French and Norwegian have already "punctured" at least a couple of races each.
Inheriting the throne of Marcel Hirscher is turning out to be a heavy mission for anyone, even if today Pinturault has given a good demonstration of strength and solidity, on a track that he has always loved. We will have to see him again in this specialty on other stages, but the leadership taken up by the 28-year-old from Courchevel also applies to confidence and morale. Kristoffersen is just a step away, only 21 points after today's resounding comeback was worth 50 very important points.
The interesting aspect, however, concerns the involvement of several sprinters in this fight: from here to the end of the year, there will be super-g and descent in Val Gardena, in addition to the descent and the Bormio combined (where they can defend themselves admirably, considered also the new rules on the combined), interspersed only by the giant on the Gran Risa and by the parallel giant of the following day, always in Alta Badia. Here is the same Dominik Paris, as obviously Matthias Mayer who precedes him by 29 points, can also think of jumping to the top of the overall, while taking into account that in January there will be the beauty of six slalom.
We'll see, what is certain Kristoffersen today has at least defended the slalom leader's red bib, even strengthened thanks to the departure of Clément Noel, while it is to note the enormous growth of Kristoffer Jakobsen, capable of two sixth places between Levi and Val d''Isère worth 80 points and 5th place in the specialty ranking.
At WCSL level, in the upcoming Zagreb slalom (January 5) Matt will start in the first sub-group instead of Schwarz, provided that the injured Manuel Feller does not return to the race, while at home Italy remain Moelgg and Gross in the second sub-group , with the fassano now however 15th (therefore virtually 13th) and with margin to not leave the 15s even in the case of a couple of difficult races. Instead he lost some other position Razzoli, now 21st, as he took a couple of steps back Vinatzer, 29th.
