Alex Vinatzer is there, the Azzurri team as a whole still has to work hard on this specialty, but it is not new in an absolute sense.
The morning qualifiers of the parallel of Lech / Zuers saw only one standard bearer of the national team enter among the 16 that will be played, from 16.00, in the podium area; the '' 99 class of Val Gardena signed the eleventh time trial and it is not a surprise, given that he has devoted himself a lot to the discipline, especially in the last few days in Livigno, given that there is no lack of potential considering the future.
Alex will now clash in the double run of the round of 16 with Erik Read (6th time), then eventually in the quarterfinals he could contend with Henrik Kristoffersen, 3rd on a track that already in 2020 saw the Norwegian great protagonist with the second final place.
At home in Italy, Simon Maurberger, Giovanni Borsotti, Hannes Zingerle and Luca De Aliprandini did not make it, who paid a lot in the first run and then had to settle for the 37th overall time. “It's a new discipline, it changes a lot based on the snow, on the track - the vice world champion of giants told Physi.org - The speed also changes and I struggle when the snow is slower.
This is a snow that makes a bit of "glue", but honestly I had arrived without any particular objectives. I am skiing very well in giant and I consider this race as an extra to my races. I'm always sorry because when there is a race you are looking for the result, I will try to make a comeback (starting from Val d''Isère, next 11th December) ”.
“I'm quite satisfied with the second heat - said Simon Maurberger, 26th and second of the Azzurri - while I didn't like it in the first, too many mistakes and I threw away a great race. It is a fun test, even if it can be dangerous due to the proximity of the two athletes on the track ”.
