In search of redemption, after the first two weekends of speed that are anything but positive, between Val d''Isère and Val Gardena, on a magical track for the Italians. And above all for Dominik Paris, who triumphed six times on the Stelvio in Bormio (five downhill, with the first triumph of his career on 29 December 2012, and one in super-g in 2018) and will lead the Italian team in two days of races on December 28-29. It will start on the 26th with the first of the two scheduled tests, again at 11.30 as the times of the descent on Monday 28th and the super-g on Tuesday 29th December. Among the nine called up by the blue ds Massimo Rinaldi, here is another news: he responds to the name of Pietro Zazzi, the 26-year-old native of Bormio who has done so much well in recent weeks, in particular with the best result of his career in the European Cup , sixth in the bis descent of Santa Caterina Valfurva (ex aequo with Florian Schieder). In addition to Paris and Zazzi, who could therefore make his debut in the World Cup (even if it will be decided after the tests), there will obviously be Christof Innerhofer, who on the Stelvio occupied all the steps of the podium in descent, winning the 2008 one, Emanuele Buzzi , Matteo Marsaglia, Florian Schieder, Guglielmo Bosca, Davide Cazzaniga and, aiming for the super-g, Riccardo Tonetti back from the great 11th place in the giant on the Gran Risa. The race track was prepared thanks to the skilful work carried out by Chicco Pedrini's men, coordinated by track managers Omar Galli and Tino Pietrogiovanna, just as happened a few weeks ago for the recovery giants in Santa Caterina: " the A and B networks - says Galli - Everything that concerns safety is in place and therefore only a few details are missing to be able to host two wonderful World Cup races. The bottom of the track is hard and compact, the Stelvio is already in perfect condition, ready for the descent and the super-g ”. In Bormio, as well as in the other locations that host competitions around the world, the atmosphere will be different than in other years, due to the restrictions imposed by the anti Covid-19 legislation. No public to welcome the jet men, no delivery of bibs in piazza del Kuerc and no collateral demonstrations. But the show will not miss, on a wonderful track which, according to many interpreters, is the "most difficult descent in the world", the one that never allows you to relax but requires constant commitment and concentration from the first to the last. meter.
