Vinatzer still gets it all wrong in Flachau, Noel always in front after the first heat

The blue tip out after 5 doors, the French called to materialize even if Foss-Solevaag and Feller are there (and pay attention to Jakobsen).

Theoretically the ideal position, in reality for what happened in the last two tests (7th and 8th after having commanded halfway through the race) and in general for anyone who was in command after the first heat, perhaps some ghost could come to mind. In any case, Clément Noel is still in front of everyone in the first of the two Flachau slaloms, recovery of the one canceled in Wengen: we will see if in the second heat, starting at 12.30, the transalpine champion will finally be able to confirm his extraordinary ability to always do speed, he who incredibly has not yet reached the podium this season. The 23-year-old from the Equipe de France leads with a margin of 23 cents over Sebastian Foss-Solevaag, now a guarantee in the first heats and even more so on a slope like that of the “Hermann Maier Weltcup Strecke”; then there are the hosts, with Feller just 25 cents from the leader while Marco Schwarz pays 7 tenths and is preceded by the usual, very fast Jakobsen great fourth, 44 cents from Noel, with bib 18. Behind the first in the slalom cup, however, we find Zenhaeusern 6th at + 0 ”81 and Strasser 7th (+ 0” 87). Alex Vinatzer, after the forks of Zagreb and Adelboden, retires immediately after 5 doors and finishes out, then trying to complete the heat with more than 5 seconds of gap and then exit definitively; At this point, the Garibaldian attitude of the Gardena, at the third consecutive zero, worries. At the same point a Daniel Yule had already come out, starting with bib n ° 1, who continues in his difficult moment, while the regrets are all of Khoroshilov, best time (with two tenths on Noel) until the last intermediate, before wrong on the penultimate bump and say goodbye to all dreams.
