It was not a positive start, that of the Italian national team engaged in the second round with speed after Val d''Isère.
On the Saslong we will start tomorrow with the super-g (start at 11.45), twenty-four hours later the legendary descent of Val Gardena, preceded by a couple of very different tests, but with negative feelings for Paris and comrades.
The same champion of the Val d''Ultimo did not hide, speaking after today's test that was the only one on the entire track of the descent that we will see on Saturday. “Today was not a positive training session, I have to understand on the video what to improve and above all where to gain a few tenths, starting with the super-g on Friday.
The track will remain similar in the next few days, it could become drier and if that were the case then it would be more difficult to make speed ”.
Beyond the thirtieth time trial in the second race also Christof Innerhofer, who does not smile too much when speaking to the FISI press office, on his 36th birthday. “My feeling has improved compared to Val d''Isère, even if my health is not very good - he admits - I hope to be better for the races and concentrate on my skiing, not thinking about the pain. I am convinced I can do my race ”.
The best blue was Matteo Marsaglia, 25th today in the second round: "Ten years ago I felt stronger in the supergiant, while on the downhill in recent years they are spinning a little more and I feel good - explains the Piedmontese veteran - Evidently the trend has changed. With the material I have clearer ideas, in super-g I miss a few kilometers and the back is felt, but for Friday we have already decided on skis and boots to use, we have clear ideas.
The snow has certainly improved, it is not the most pleasant snow yet, but I hope that with another clear night we can polish it a little more. I'm aiming for a good super-g, it would be good to get back into the thirty, then we'll see with the descent ”.
