Two Azzurri in the top ten, even if the podium did not arrive even this time and, on eight seasonal occasions, only Giuliano Razzoli was able to climb it with that miraculous 3rd place in Wengen, when Henrik Kristoffersen came out with five doors to go with victory in hand. Just the Norwegian has recovered everything with the interests in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, with the double in the slalom on the Gudiberg he also earned the red bib as specialty leader, two tests from the end. The “Rocket”, however, is still there and today's sixth place, just one tenth from Linus Strasser's third place, is to be greeted with a smile after yesterday's bad race. The Olympian is one of the three Italians who are certain of access to the finals in Courchevel-Méribel, with Vinatzer (today 9th) and Sala (19th), while it is very hard for Maurberger (20 points from the 25th place necessary ) and Gross, not qualified for today's 2nd heat, and Moelgg absent in Garmisch due to Covid. The last chance in Flachau, next March 9, in the recovery race in Zagreb that Razzoli himself is already watching with interest. “The second heat was really very difficult - the 37-year-old from Reggio declared to Physi.org - You always had to stay on time, I made an orderly descent, very headstrong. I braked too heavily in the central section which cost me a little too much, but let's go to the Flachau race with high morale. We will have to do some training in these particular conditions, not frozen snow ”.
