There in front of playing with Kriechmayr and Kilde, as has often happened to him even in recent seasons.
Matteo Marsaglia's speed is out of the question, now we need to realize the race after having obtained the third time trial in the second and final test of the descent on the Oreiller-Killy, which will close the Val d''Isère weekend on Sunday. Tomorrow, in fact, we will start with the super-g which, in the ideas of the best blue in the two trainings carried out (today the other 7 Italians involved have finished beyond the 40th position), will be more difficult than the descent. "I am very happy, also because I had been stopped for three weeks due to severe back pain - admits Marsaglia after his test, speaking to the FISI press office - Already last summer, on the ok days, I had good feelings for which I decided to stop skiing. I took some time and did a good dry prep.
Yesterday was the first day I put my skis back on and today I tried to put an extra gear: it was all positive, even if there was less visibility and the track was very flat, demanding. These are conditions that I like best and in any case the reference of Kilde and Kriechmayr is good.
The super-g? I start a long way back, between 50 and 60, so a lot will depend on how the track holds. At the moment I feel in better shape downhill, but let's see how it will go always trying to do the best. Outside the line the snow becomes softer and it won't be easy, also because it will snow again. There would be a day of recovery, we hope they take it into account ... ".
A few more doubts for Christof Innerhofer, who finished 2 ”82 from the best time signed by Kriechmayr:“ Thursday my test was ok, until the penultimate corner when I made a mistake and almost went out. Today I tried to put an extra gear, but I couldn't. There was less visibility and I was unable to give that extra something that would be needed.
So, at the moment, it seems to me that my skiing is good but nothing special. I hope to find proof after try an improvement and be able to express myself to the fullest ”.
