A creepy super-g, which could decide a good part of the race (for two?) At the general World Cup, with Henrik Kristoffersen heading out even before the technical races of Kranjska Gora, and the duel between Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Alexis Pinturault who will pass from the second speed race in Kvitfjell. Sunday (10.30 am, track of the Austrian Brunner) the last super-g of the season, with the Norwegian who now defends 54 points on the French, but above all he will have to try to stretch further before the giant and slalom in Slovenia. The cup leader will start with the bib number 9, Alexis instead has been forced to take a number 1 that risks being penalized to seek at least a top ten result, from which Pinturault has never come out in the specialty races held in this his vintage of the highest level in speed. However, there will also be a lot of interest in the conquest of the specialty World Cup: Mauro Caviezel (Sunday in the race with bib number 5), who has not yet won in his career, driving with only 3 points on Kriechmayr (No. 7 ), 29 on Kilde, 41 on Mayer (winner today downhill and at the start with No. 13) and 60 on Jansrud, who will be the last of the big at the gate with the 15. Fight to five then, with the sixth of the ranking that will also be the first blue at the start tomorrow: let's talk about Mattia Casse, bib number 11 and with the dream of finally grasping that first podium always and only cherished. Seven Italians in the race: in addition to the Piedmontese, here are Buzzi with 18, Marsaglia (32), Prast (39), Cazzaniga (41), Guglielmo Bosca with 48 and Schieder with 58.
