South Tyrolean serial winners also strike in Deutschnofen

Patrick Pigneter/Florian Clara (Völs/Campill) continued their winning streak on the 785 meter long “Pföslriep” track. The record winners celebrated their fourth win of the season in the fourth race. In 1.55,33:64 minutes they relegated the Villnöss brothers Patrick Lambacher/Matthias Lambacher to second place by 0,47 seconds in their 0,58th World Cup victory. It was the reigning European champions' first podium finish this season. Third place went to the Russians Pavel Porshnev/Ivan Lazarev (+0,70 seconds). Porshnev/Lazarev are in improving form two weeks before the European Championships in Laas, in the second run the veterans set the best time and pushed cousins Fabian Achenrainer/Simon Achenrainer (AUT/+XNUMX) off the podium.

“Today was a work victory, the first run was good, but we didn’t show our best performance in the second run,” analyzed Patrick Pigneter self-critically. In the overall standings, Pigneter/Clara lead after four of seven races with a maximum of 400 points, ahead of Achenrainer/Achenrainer (285) and Porshnev/Lazarev (225).

There was also a home win in the women's single-seater. The series winner from Passeir, Evelin Lanthaler, took her fourth victory of the season in 1.48,98:35 minutes, making it the 30th World Cup victory for the XNUMX-year-old. With a show of strength in the second run, the Russian Ekaterina Lavrenteva improved from third to second place, making it the first podium finish of the season for the reigning vice world champion. Greta Pinggera from Lasa improved from fifth place to third place, while Lisa Walch (GER) moved from second place to fifth place.

“The girls don't sleep, especially in the second run the gaps were very close. On this track, even the smallest mistake costs a lot of time. Now I'm looking forward to the European Championships in Lasa in two weeks. “I want to defend my title,” says Lanthaler, setting out the route. In the overall ranking, the Passirian woman is clearly in the lead after four wins this season with a maximum of 400 points, followed by Walch and Pinggera in second place with 295 points.
