The script of the game is very simple result: the first 5 starting, within less than 20 '', have shrunk in the first half of the 1 ^ back to finish it at a pace rather bland, leaving any hope of returning to their pursuers game for the win. In the second half of the test on the narrow skis has gradually increased the intensity put into play, with the first signs of an epic battle for victory: the first to move was Eric Frenzel, with an attack on the climb that leads to the intermediate photocell circuit. The first to make the expenses of the change of pace was Bernhard Gruber, subsequently unable to refer below to the success and finally 6th at the finish line.
