However, the programs of the group of transalpine sprinters have changed, forced to move until 12 September the departure for the long Chilean trip. Due to bad conditions in La Parva (where some national teams are still being trained, including Canada), Theaux, Roger and friends will train 400 km south of the capital Santiago de Chile, or in the Nevados de Chillan ski resort.
In Ushuaia, in the Argentinian town where the first blue groups will soon also arrive, the snow is not lacking and already from the beginning of September there will begin the "full-throttle" preparation of slalomists and gigantists of the French national team, including Alexis Pinturault; before, however, a group comprising the veterans Lizeroux and Grange, but also some specialists between the wide doors like Faivre and Muffat-Jeandet, will climb the Plateau Rosà glacier for six days of training from 14 to 19 August.
On the Matterhorn, on the other hand, Tessa Worley is already training, and the Ferragosto will also pass on the Valle d'Aosta snows, while the other gigantistas of the French national team are expected next week.
