The bitterness of the blue leader, out when the 2nd place in the slalom of Val d''Isère was now a done deal. Razzoli already at good levels: "I'm a diesel, starting like this is excellent".

A curve too many, given that the last two doors were practically in line, for Alex Vinatzer who literally threw a certain second place to the winds (and would have been the best result of his career after the two third places in Zagreb and Campiglio) in the slalom of Val d''Isère.
A stumble, the skis crossing and the flight to the ground, practically on the finish line, at a decidedly high speed given that the final stretch of the Face de Bellevarde is very fast. The young man from Val Gardena can only be very disappointed in the post-race of this bitter opening, but the positive data obviously concerns the competitiveness of the athlete who can make Italy dream of slalom. "I don't really know what happened - Alex admits to Ettore Giovannelli (Rai Sport) microphones - Maybe the ground was a bit softer, but it's a shame also because I didn't think I had skied so well (with a real rodeo in the first part, saving himself with two masterpieces) while, seeing the advantage, it would have been enough for the second place.
The only aspect that I take home is the speed there is, now we have Campiglio (Vinny's last podium dates back to the 3Tre one year ago) and we think about recovering as best we can on a physical level to do another good race ".
Giuliano Razzoli was thus the best blue with a great 9th place, considering the technical context and the comeback of the Olympic champion from the twentieth. “I am quite satisfied - the words of the“ Rocket ”- Too bad I struggled so hard in the first heat, the second was good. In the last training sessions I felt behind my teammates, but starting already so well, I am a diesel, gives me confidence ".
