Hello and welcome back to LIVE LIVE of the first timed trial of the descent in Val Gardena, whose official race will be valid for the 2020-2021 Alpine Skiing Men’s World Cup. On the legendary Saslong the athletes will study the ideal lines to make a difference in the race and understand where it will be possible to attack or not.

Unfortunately, the thirty-one-year-old from Merano he never loved this track too much, on which he never won and only won two podiums (one per specialty). An almost unbelievable statistic for such a champion. The blue, however, returned to France during the weekend after his injury last winter, is slowly recovering the shape of the best days and is really close to the other big names in the White Circus. The tenth place in the free descent of the Val d’Isere (62 cents from the winner, the Slovenian Martin Cater) is a clear and strong sign of recovery.
Race on the transalpine snows which, from this point of view, highlighted the unpredictability of this beginning of CdM, as the success of Cater highlights and as the composition of the rest of the podium confirms: according to the Austrian Otmar Striedinger, 22 cents away from the winner and on his fourth career podium; while third the Swiss Urs kryenbuehl, in his second Top-3 in the World Cup, which was delayed by 27 cents. The other aspect, a bit worrying in the Azzurri home, is that Apart from Paris, it takes a lot of effort. He scored points Matteo Marsaglia, which hit a top-20, closing 1.14 from the top of the standings. Out of thirty, however, Guglielmo Bosca, Riccardo Tonetti, Christof Innerhofer and Davide Cazzaniga. Emanuele Buzzi fell without consequences.
