Super-g time in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, after a descent that saw Vincent Kriechmayr triumph. And the bi world champion is the big favorite also for the second round on the Zwoelferkogel, sixth and penultimate specialty race with the 29 year old from Lower Austria just a step away from the specialty World Cup. Kriechmayr, in fact, leads with 101 points of margin on Matthias Mayer and 123 on Marco Odermatt, the only ones still able to worry him. The start on Sunday at 10.30, for a super-g that will be inaugurated by Alexis Pinturault who, despite being able to choose seventh, opted for the n ° 1 on the track designed by Fournier, technician of the transalpine sprinters. The Courchevel champion now defends 165 points of margin in the general over Marco Odermatt, who will come out of the gate with the n ° 9, and will have to pay attention to the possible return of the Swiss, amazing today in descent with a 5th place. Among them are Kriechmayr (bib 5) and Mayer (col 7), but Christof Innerhofer himself drew a large number 6 to try to redeem a decidedly subdued race today. Dominik Paris, on the other hand, will start after the Jansrud-Meillard-Baumann trio (dangerous for different reasons), or with the 15th, second of the five blues at the start. Lele Buzzi will in fact have the number 25, Riccardo Tonetti the 31, Matteo Marsaglia the 45 to try to snatch a pass (very difficult, as for Buzzi) for the finals in Lenzerheide.
