13.00 Franzoso does a little better by finishing fiftieth at +5 ”44
12.57 Franzoni is fifty-third at +5 ”65.
12.55 Giovanni Franzoni has already left, after him Matteo Franzoso will close the curtain on the second timed test.
12.53 The blue marks the eighth time at +2 ”18 !! What a performance of the young Italian team who pushed hard from start to finish! Excellent!!
12.50 Pietro Zazzi on the track.
12.47 At the finish line Molteni is twenty-seventh at +3 “57. Go on like this!
12.44 In the meantime, the third Canadian Broderick Thompson, trailing by +3 ”56.
12.42 Almost prone to leave Nicolò Molteni, an Army athlete born in 1998.
12.39 51 athletes have gone down, 13 are missing of which four are young blue: Molteni, Zazzi, Franzoso and Franzoni. Come on guys!
12.36 The intermediate times are discreet in the upper part of Bosca which then loses at the end: twenty-seventh at +3 ”71.
12.34 It’s up to our Guglielmo Bosca! Meanwhile, the other Canadian James Crawford has just reached the finish line (second yesterday) who is in tenth provisional place at +2 ”50.
12.32 What a good Canadian Brodie Seger! Even fifth behind by +1 ”93!
12.30 The Teutonic Simon Jocher, a young and interesting prospect of the circus: twenty-first at +3 “59.
12.27 We remind you that the Norwegian Adrian Smiseth Sejersted and the French Victor Schuller did not start.
12.25 Among the last downs, no one was able to settle the top twenty positions apart from Arvidsson.
12.22 The next blue on the track will be Guglielmo Bosca with bib 48. Meanwhile, the American Erik Arvidsson (down with 37) is seventeenth at +3 ”26.
12.20 Roulin is eighth at +2 ”28, Mattia Casse slips to tenth position.
12.18 Let’s start again! The Swiss Gilles Roulin did well, appearing in constant growth in the first seasonal releases.
12.15 We take advantage of the break to recap the situation. The Swiss Hintermann leads in front of Marco Odermatt and Daniel Hemetsberger, tied second (+1 ”53). Fifth Matteo Marsaglia (+2 ”06), sixth Dominik Paris (+2” 09), ninth Mattia Casse (+2 ”63). Innerhofer got up completely before the finish and is currently setting the twenty-seventh fastest time (+7 ”26).
12.12 The intermediate times of the transalpine are high, at the 19th finish line at +3 ”67.
12.11 After the French Nils Allegre (bib 30) there will be a technical break of four minutes.
12.09 Fifth is the thirty-six year old of Roman origins (+2 ”06), just ahead of Dominik Paris.
12.07 The fourth blue of the lot and the best in yesterday’s test, Matteo Marsaglia, is preparing for the gate.
12.05 Today’s ranking will leave some time it finds. Many skiers slowed down in the final or at other points of the track, demonstrating the fact that subjective sensations matter much more than the verdicts of the time trial today.
12.03 Well Cases! Eighth at +2 “63.
12.01 It seems that only the Swiss have decided to push today. Urs Kryenbuehl is ninth (+2 ”84), now there are four Swiss players in the top nine.
11.59 Finally we see an entry into the top-10 after a slew of athletes who have accused sidereal gaps. The holder of the crystal globe Beat Feuz is seventh (+2 ”52).
11.57 The delay of our rider gradually increases as he lifts the accelerator pedal right at the finish line: seventeenth position at +7 ”26.
11.55 Innerhofer party!
11.54 We recall that Niels Hintermann (Switzerland) leads with an advantage of -1 ”53 over his compatriot Odermatt on an equal footing with the Austrian Hemetsberger.
11.52 Soon it will be the turn of the second blue Christof Innerhofer, on the track with bib number 18.
11.50 Bryce Bennett (United States) accuses even six seconds in the shot conclusive.
11.49 Penultimate the Austrian Kriechmayr with a gap of more than four seconds. Most of those who have gone down so far push at times regardless of the final time.
11.47 The American Ryan Cochran-Siegle ends up just behind Dominik Paris: sixth at +2 ”25.
11.45 Daniel Hemetsberger (Austria) takes second place with the same time as Odermatt (+1 ”53).
11.43 The Norwegian champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde has chosen not to push today: fifth at +2 ”64.
11.41 It seems that Hintermann made a vacuum. Not even the American Travis Ganong manages to get close to him (+3 ”16).
11.40 The transalpine veteran Johan Clarey also loses a lot of ground: +1 ”61.
11.38 The Rossocrociato Odermatt pays +1 ”53 from compatriot Hintermann.
11.37 Sander accumulates almost three seconds and ends up behind Dominik. Let’s see how the World Cup leader Marco Odermatt fares.
11.36 1’54 “78 the time of the Swiss Hintermann, Andreas Sander (Germany) is already falling very far in the middle of the track.
11.35 Hintermann earns a blunder in the final trimming almost a second and a half to “Dommen” only in the last sector. A sign that even today our standard bearer has slowed down considerably before the arrival.
11.33 The Swiss Niels Hintermann is already on the track. The intervals between one athlete and another are tight.
11.32 1’56 ”87 the time of Dominik Paris. Four cents less than Marsaglia’s best performance yesterday.
11.30 The blue giant leaves!
11.29 Here we are! Dominik Paris is loosening his muscles in the starting area! Thirty seconds to go.
11.27 The weather conditions are good and the temperature is around 2 degrees. Optimal track preparation.
11.24 About five minutes and we start with the second timed test from the Stelvio di Bormio!
11.20 The free ascent is set for tomorrow while the two super-G will take place on December 29th and 30th. For all three races the time is the same: 11.30.
11.17 In the meantime, the first forerunner is about to appear at the gate. We remind you that the second timed test will officially open at 11.30 with the descent of Dominik Paris.
11.14 The Italians shone in the test staged twenty-four hours ago by placing four standard bearers in the top ten positions. Here is yesterday’s top-10:
