With the beginning of May, the first movements related to material changes in the white circus also begin. First official especially in the male sector among the wide doors: such as the one concerning Justin Murisier, one of the most awaited Swiss home gigantists in recent years and repeatedly affected by injuries. The last in 2018, once already chosen to marry the Nordica project: the 28-year-old from Martigny announced his farewell to the Italian brand, thanking him for all the support received ("they did everything for me") and admitting that , simply, "I have never been able to find with them the ideal solution for my skiing". Murisier, still out of podiums in the World Cup, had started the return season well with 10th place in Beaver Creek in his discipline, before getting lost with the passing of the races and getting something good only in the PGS in Alta Badia and in the two combined races of Bormio (9th) and Wengen (11th). Waiting for the Swiss to announce the ski brand that will accompany him from the 2020/21 vintage, another Swiss has decided to change: Thomas Tumler, who in the controversial parallel giant of Chamonix last February obtained the second podium of the career with 2nd place behind compatriot Meillard, leaves Fischer to return to Stoeckli. Instead, the young Fabian Wilkens Solheim enters the Head family: the Norwegian class '96 is back from the first real season in the World Cup, seasoned with five points points, but he was also able to achieve two successes in the European Cup, with the brace in the two initial giants of Trysil.
