A disappointment ... parallel. Borsotti: "I expected more". De Aliprandini: "I paid for the aggressive snow"

Azzurri out in qualifying in Lech / Zuers, but now we look to the giants of Santa Caterina Valfurva. "We want to do well at home".

There were probably no expectations that, instead, saw Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone expected protagonists even in such a particular discipline. And with the cut of the qualification reduced only to the first 16 times, it was known that for the male quartet engaged in the parallel of Lech / Zuers it would be really hard; none of the Azzurri did it in the Austrian morning, with Roberto Nani who was the best with the 33rd overall time, while Hannes Zingerle came out in the second run (after a good first) and Luca De Aliprandini and Giovanni Borsotti they paid duty in the decisive round. In particular, the Trentino rider believed in it, after a top 16 opening. "The first run was quite positive, but in the second the snow was more aggressive and these are not the conditions I prefer - De Aliprandini's analysis - I had prepared well for this race, but I didn't manage to get what I wanted. Let's look ahead, or rather the home races in Santa Caterina Valfurva ”. On 5-6 December, in fact, the two giants canceled in Val d''Isère will be recovered on the "Deborah Compagnoni" and Giovanni Borsotti, who had done well in Soelden, has his sights on the Valtellina appointment, while admitting that “I expected more from this race. I was too wrong in both heats, but now we have to metabolize the result and prepare for these giants where we want to do well ”. Immediately everyone in Livigno, therefore, where for four days (until Monday 30 November) Roberto Lorenzi's team will train for the best possible approach to the second and third giant of the World Cup season.
