With the women who opened the program of the Austrian two-day World Cup, Lech / Zuers will also host the men's parallel on Friday which, as in the case of its colleagues, will be the only one of the year (excluding World Cups). Appointment always fixed at 10.00 for the qualification and at 17.50 for the final phase (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport) which will start from the round of 16, with double heats as in the morning, where, however, only the times to enter between the best 16 who will play for success in the second round for the men of this very particular year, given that the boys have not competed since last October 18th. 40 days after the opening in Soelden, Lucas Braathen will have to defend the leadership of CdM; the phenomenal 20-year-old has already demonstrated last season in Chamonix that he knows how to deal with PGS and will be one of the 8 Norwegians in a race that will also have a lot of absences due to Covid (Schwarz and the Swiss trio Odermatt-Meillard-Caviezel) and very specific choices (see Muffat-Jeandet). 65 athletes will present themselves at the starting gate, with the Italian national team that will propose only 4 elements, considering the defections (heavy, considering their quality in the discipline) of Alex Vinatzer, operated in recent days for appendectomy, and Simon Maurberger forced to stop for the trouble with the tibial plateau. Luca De Aliprandini and Giovanni Borsotti will try, very fast in Chamonix in the qualifying phase, but also Roberto Nani and Hannes Zingerle will have a good opportunity. Rasmus Windingstad, winner last year in Alta Badia, and Stefan Luitz will open the program, but soon we will see Kristoffersen, the same Braathen, Kilde and Pinturault, called to obtain good points in terms of the general classification. Considering the format, however, it will already be far from easy to get through the morning cut ...
