Study test on "Kandahar 1", but Paris and Innerhofer are fast behind Franz best time

In Garmisch-Partenkirchen the only training before super-g and downhill scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The two blues leading third and fourth, Thomas Dressen is back. And Lele Buzzi, on "his" track, finally comes back fast.

A single test, on a salty track (with training delayed by 30 minutes compared to the original time) and with all the unknowns of the case for a "Kandahar 1" that the jet men have studied, on the eve of the fast cup races del Mondo, the last ones before Cortina 2021, scheduled in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Friday with the super-g and on Saturday with the descent, again at 11.30. It is Max Franz who set the best time in today's test, with a margin of 29 cents over Josef Ferstl and with the two most anticipated blues already very brilliant, even if this test must really be taken with a grain of salt. Dominik Paris therefore closes third, at 63 hundredths of a second, Christof Innerhofer fourth at + 0 "81, with Matthias Mayer fifth at 1" 14. Finally he is back fast, Emanuele Buzzi who is experiencing a really difficult season: the 26-year-old from Sappada loves this track (two of his four top ten in CdM he obtained in the descent in Bavaria, tenth in both 2018 and 2020) and today the '' confirmed, signing the sixth time at +1 ”33. The gap is wide with Romed Baumann and Beat Feuz, seventh ex aequo at 1 "66, then Odermatt ninth and in the top 15 area Matteo Marsaglia, who pays 1" 93 from Franz. Positive is the return of Thomas Dressen who, after more than two months without skis with the November operation on his left hip, and an absence at a competitive level since last March, tested himself on his home track by placing at 3 " 03 and with answers that should lead him to compete on Saturday and then to the world championships in Cortina. Return with exit in the final for Adrian Smiseth Sejersted, who was still traveling close to his levels again, while Switzerland has re-embraced Hintermann (certainly not at the top, today over 4 seconds) and Friday should have Mauro Caviezel in the super- g.
