The preparatory work for the Italian national teams continues on the Argentine snows, now forty days before the opening of the World Cup scheduled for the weekend of 22-23 October in Soelden. Rest day on Monday for multipurpose athletes and elite groups, while the slalomists are giving in in the first days in Ushuaia, with the blue observing the South American Cup races scheduled in these days in the Cerro Castor area from outside. Yesterday the first victory, at the seasonal debut, for Sara Hector in the giant number 1 of the South American circuit stage, today the encore with race-2 always scheduled from 14.30 Italian with the 1st heat. At the men's level, all 15 Azzurri competing in the first giant of the week will not be at the starting gate in Italy: Borsotti, Della Vite, Maurberger and Franzoni, who finished in the first four places on Monday, will give up the race -2 leaving space for the other 11 elements already at the start yesterday, starting with Kastlunger and Vinatzer, who will have the lowest bibs among the Italians (9 and 11), but also Corrado Barbera who in the opening giant was the best young man ever. Today we will not even see the Swiss Aerni (5th in the first giant) and Nef, possible protagonists instead the Spaniards Del Campo, Garay and Ortega, with the South Americans (Figueroa and Pirozzi above all) who will have the best bibs thanks to the points won so far in the SAC circuit.
