After the first training, many speak of a rather gentle streak. But Kitzbühel remains Kitzbühel. And several top athletes promptly fight the pitfalls of the track in the second training session. Meanwhile, Kjetil Jansrud (No) and Thomas Dressen (De) lie on the ground, catch each other and reach the goal. In contrast to Vincent Kriechmayr (Ö), who cant over the edge of the local mountain after the flight and thunders into the nets. He remains unharmed.

The fastest training is Johan Clarey (Fr). «I dream a little bit of victory. And I hope that I haven’t already shown my best trip. »55 hundredths behind Clarey, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (No) is second, third with 60 hundredths behind Matthias Mayer (Ö).

Feuz wants to study Clarey’s line
The greatest Swiss hope for a Streif victory, Beat Feuz, is going a step further compared to Thursday training without ever taking any full risk – it also swings well before the finish. Finally Feuz lands in 15th place (+1.41 seconds) and says: “I hit the line more, it looked better.”

In contrast to his victory on the Lauberhorn downhill, Feuz started again with a splint after breaking his hand. “It works here, because the start is not steep, like in Wengen – you accelerate immediately.” He knew what to do – but he would still study Clarey’s line.
