Finally we're off! At 16.30 will start the sixty-second edition of the Four Hills Tour that will open hostility as usual on Schattenbergschanze of Oberstdorf. The number one favorites to win the prestigious event and the inaugural race is the defending champion Gregor Schlierenzauer and the reigning world champion Kamil Stoch.
Let the show begin! After today's qualifying begins in earnest with the first two series that scremeranno the pretenders to the final victory. We find out who will win the tour, but certainly some heavy name might already out of the fight.
But we find the technical data of the mythical Schattenbergschanze of Oberstdorf, in my opinion the most beautiful of the whole trampoline world cup!
In light of the qualifications and training of two jumps yesterday we can safely confine the struggle for victory in eight names, some with more and some with less chances, unless the Rib'' s last hour. Schlierenzauer, Morgenstern, Ammann, Bardal, Kasai, Stoch, Prevc and the young Diethart.
Who has convinced me more, as high levels of continuity and stability as technique is the returning Thomas Morgenstern, who after the great victory that Titisee-Neustadt, and subsequent collapse, seems to have returned to levels of excellence . In qualifying, the Austrian champion got the best measure, but did not support the telemark, but I trust that in the race certainly does not difetterà style.
The bookmakers offer it to 8.00 (Marathonebet) and a very small attempt I feel a duty to do so. I would take it clear to the podium to 3.00, on the same bookie. The course fee is affected by the presence of Schlierenzauer, Stoch and Bardal, but given the technical stability and the shape is clearly evident in this month Morgy racing.
In head to head I see value in the share of Jacobsen against Ahonen, although the Norwegian is not that of 12 months ago, in the amount of Freund against Taku Takeuchi from deprived and disadvantaged Kofler against Zyla offered.
T. Morgenstern winner @ 8,00 (Marathonbet) Stake 1/10
T. Morgenstern podium @ 3,00 (Marathonbet) Stake 3/10
Jacobsen takes Ahonen @ 1.81 (Marathonbet) Stake 2/10
Freund beats Takeuchi @ 2.25 (Marathonbet) Stake 2/10
Kofler beats Zyla @ 1,91 (Betvictor) Stake 3/10
