They are simply the best in the discipline, with any formula and on almost any type of track or condition. We are talking about the French team that, in a discipline such as the Alpine combined, has been on the podium for 18 consecutive races with at least one athlete: today in Wengen the Transalpine have placed two, but Alexis Pinturault and Victor Muffat-Jeandet have been beaten by an exceptional Matthias Mayer. In particular, the Savoyard, specialty leader and now back to the top of the World Cup general classification (with 2 points on Kristoffersen), can only have some regrets for having missed 7 cents a second after Bormio. Even if her day remains positive: "Of course, the boxes turn when you lose for so little ... - Alexis will admit in the post - It remains an excellent balance for me at the end of the day, even if I certainly lost it downhill. The slalom was excellent, but I say that to play with the sprinters, the track must be good also for those who start back as happened today. If conditions are the same today as Sunday, I see it badly ... ". Victor Muffat-Jeandet smiles and how he takes another podium after the giant 3rd place in Adelboden: â€œIn slalom I had problems adapting to the snow - admits the transalpine - and for Sunday we will have to fix things for the real slalom . I tried to play it anyway until the end and it's nice to continue with a podium result, just where I had already won (two years ago, his only success in the World Cup) and also finished in second place. I have completed the collection ".
