A second test on the thrilling Saslong, with Felix Monsen's flight that forced the last training towards the Val Gardena descent scheduled for Saturday to be interrupted for almost 30 minutes, and a lot of concern for the 27-year-old's conditions Swedish sprinter who did so well in this start of the season, and was second yesterday behind Ryan Cochran-Siegle.
Waiting for precise news on the Scandinavian, to close in front of everyone is a simply very fast Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and the main favorite perhaps even more for the descent than for the super-g scheduled for Friday, at the opening of the two days of Val Gardena.
The 2020 cup winner preceded the Austrian Otmar Striedinger by 29 cents and Ryan Cochran-Siegle by 38, who today practically only pushed the “Ciaslat” and seems to have a special feeling with this descent. Just behind we find Niels Hintermann, excellent 4th at 41 cents, then we have to go beyond the second behind to find Clarey, Baumann, Kline, Hemetsberger in the series, while Matthias Mayer finished tenth at 1 ”61.
Dominik Paris? Starting with bib n ° 1, the Val d''Ultimo ace tried a different approach but in the end he is 13th at 1 ”99 from Kilde, with the feeling that it will be difficult to change register for the queen race on Saturday.
In any case, “Domme” is the best of the Azzurri, ahead of Beat Feuz by a couple of tenths, with Mattia Casse 15th at 2 ”29.
