Time of male giant on the Rettenbach, with the hope (but also a certain confidence) to be able to compete regularly, unlike the women forced to miss the opening.
In fact, the weather is improving in Soelden, there should no longer be precipitation and even the wind should not be a factor, even if the temperatures will remain high for the first race of the 2022/23 World Cup, starting from 10.00 on Sunday morning with the 1st heat (the second at 13.00).
Tonight the bib draw after the captains' meeting, with the top 7 including Marco Odermatt, the natural favorite for an encore in the Oetztal, who dominated last season as a giant, Henrik Kristoffersen (highly anticipated at the '' debut with new materials), Alexis Pinturault, Manuel Feller, Zan Kranjec, Lucas Braathen and Luca De Aliprandini, the beacon of a national team that will count on nine elements, but has concrete chances of podium only with the Trentino.
For the vice world champion, the pitfalls will also come from behind, although in the second sub-group of merit there will not be two big names like Justin Murisier and Stefan Brennsteiner, luxury injuries of the pre-season who have opened the door to the top 15 ad a real loose cannon like Atle Lie McGrath.
Speaking of physical troubles, Sam Maes' resignation for this opening is news in the last few hours: as reported by "skinews.ch", the young Belgian has remedied a foot problem that forced him to raise the white flag, after a '' summer of work with the Global Racing Team of which he has been part for years, together with (among others) the Zampa brothers and Hannes Zingerle himself.
