The 32nd success in the World Cup, the second on Chuenisbargli, launches Alexis more and more to the top of the World Cup. "It is a battle and this three days will be very hard". Odermatt still red bib with 10 points of margin on the French.

The lord of Adelboden, in the true sense of the word. A dance, the one staged today by Alexis Pinturault on the Chuenisbargli, which he tamed by a whisker already in 2017, when he managed to resist Marcel Hirscher's comeback for 4 cents, and this time he took a void on all rivals, with over a second of margin on Zubcic and Odermatt.
Victory number 32 in the World Cup, for a champion who has only one great goal: the overall World Cup, for the one who leads the overall with 60 points ahead of the keeper Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, today great 4th (equaling the best result of his career in giant), 124 on Odermatt himself and over 200 on Henrik Kristoffersen, the great disappointment of the day.
Alexis who could remove the red bib from Marco Odermatt tomorrow, who still commands in the specialty ranking with only 10 points ahead, while Zubcic is -62 from the Swiss. Pinturault, after the race, however, maintained his usual Olympic calm, without getting excited thinking about the possible encore in Saturday's giant: "Every race is different, today everything was perfect and I skied very well, but I can't expect to always win with a second - he told Ski Chrono - This is a legendary track for the giant, the one on which you always want to be at your best and do well. The interpretation of the second heat? I knew that Zubcic was leading, at the same time I was aware of the margin but I also knew I could not manage. Just look at Leitinger, who gained almost a second over many in the final stretch, where he could therefore lose a lot.
You have to attack and then know how to manage in certain points, I succeeded ”.
The '91 class of Courchevel now seems to be at the top in the giant, much less in slalom: “I feel good with the material and today the conditions were ideal, with good grip. Tomorrow there will be another important giant and rest is essential, it will be a tough weekend with Sunday's slalom. And we are only at the beginning ”.
