The script of the test on skis was the same as yesterday, if not the leading group was composed of one member less: in the first hundred meters from the start, Eric Frenzel was able to nimbly When returning in the trio that He anticipated by 4 '', and to close the gap to the rival for the crystal ball.
For the first two rounds Rydzek held high pace, avoiding the return to game the other team-mate Fabian Riessle, which has even accused a passive additional approximately 5 ''. On the second pass the milestone Frenzel took command of operations, increasing the intensity put into play, but at the same time was clear inferiority of the Teutonic materials.
In fact, both Samuel Costa Bernhard Gruber, who lost a few meters in the tough times, but as soon as the track has changed slope, were able to close the gap and even take the lead. This fact has surprised the Germans, who have raised partially, leaving space at the back of the pursuers.
At the beginning of the latest round Frenzel was the protagonist of a new forcing in the long pulled off before the Austrian and then the Val Gardena, to play for the success with Rydzek. A new sprint thrilling, ended at the photo finish, sanctioned again won the Bavarian on the Saxon, this time with more margin than yesterday.
Third place, finally, was won by Costa, which proved much more on the ball than Gruber: detachment from the two Teutonic begins to be more full-bodied, tomorrow Samuel will outdo on the jumps to close the gap that might otherwise be fatal optic final results of the Triple, because being 15 Km without someone to dictate the pace, could make it scuttled away from the positions that count.
This is the second individual podium for the Val Gardena, after that 24 hours ago. If you missed the results to establish the fact that French is the leader of the Italian movement for a couple of years, well now we have, for all due respect to all those who in December took for bankruptcy a season just started.
Fourth position for Gruber, the best result: today was able to defend himself from the back of the chase group, although the shape of skiing seems far from beautiful days. Optical Triple, tomorrow will start from a good position in the jumps, to try to defend a top 5 that would be a great result for the veteran Rot-Weiß-Rot.
Just behind are an Austrian else, Mario Seidl: party just ahead of Riessle, managed to keep up in the slipstream, thanks to the good materials, so in the last meters was able to print it and confirm the starting position, the fifth.
So for Riessle there is more disappointment that satisfaction, as had happened yesterday: jumps to excellent, given its characteristics, has alternated performance in the fund not to be top of the class, either by the limited material, either for a form apparently slightly downward.
Following were placed Akito Watabe and David Pommer, respectively 7th and 8th, unable to When returning under the tandem made up of the Teutonic and the landlord, despite a first round abundant high quality.
Ninth place for Ilkka Herola, protagonist of a fraction on convincing skiing, as well as Magnus Krog, tenth, eleventh and Bjoern Kircheisen. The fastest time in the fund if the won Paul Gerstgraser (16 °), the protagonist of a great comeback by 20 positions.
Costa will be the blue one to take the start in the competition tomorrow, as all the other Italians were out of the points: Alessandro Pittin was the first of the excluded (31 °), but trailing by 28 '' from the thirtieth square occupied from Finnish Leevi Mutru; Lukas Runggaldier (40th) has at least had the satisfaction of making the third fastest time of the race segment and Armin Bauer (44th) has also shown excellent form in the fund.
It's over the weekend also for other famous names, such as: the German Jakob Lange (33 °), the Austrian Wilhelm Denifl (34 °), the Norwegian Haavard Klemetsen (35 °) and the American Taylor Fletcher (36th) . Miroslav Dvorak, however, has not kicked off the second segment of the race.
