Still with the 1 on his shoulders, as in the last season in Kranjska Gora for that first time in the sub-group of the "greats", and last 24 October in the opening in Soelden.
Luca De Aliprandini will also open the giant on Saturday in Val d''Isère, over a month and a half after the start on the Rettenbach for a great challenge such as the "Face de Bellevarde", which men will find again after 3 years, given that in the last two seasons the bad weather has been decisive in the negative. Also this time, in Savoy there is a lot of snow and today the rains have continued, but for tomorrow morning there is confidence in being able to set up a track in good condition: start scheduled at 9.30 for the first heat (direct tv on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), designed by Croatia, the second at 13.00 with tracking by Mike Pircher, guide of the Austrians.
After the vice world champion, the one who was the only one to overtake the Trentino in Cortina, Mathieu Faivre, will present himself at the starting gate, with Zan Kranjec (bib 3) eager to confirm the podium in Soelden, on which Roland also climbed Leitinger, clearly absent after the knee injury that already cost the Austrian the end of the season.
Marco Odermatt won in the Oetztal, tomorrow at the start with number 5 immediately after Alexis Pinturault, perhaps the main favorite on a track where he has already won in 2016 and 2017; pay attention to Zubcic and Meillard, to close the top 7, then Braathen with 9, Brennsteiner for 12th until closing the second sub-group with Kristoffersen, who caught the 14, and a Gino Caviezel in great shape.
