European Cup Reinswald: Josef Ferstl sets best training time

Josef Ferstl is no longer an unknown quantity in the European Cup and certainly not in Reinswald. The 25-year-old German won the second European Cup race of his career in Sarntal last year, namely the Super-G at the end of the Sarn European Cup week in 2013. 12 months later, Ferstl set another best time in the first downhill training on the Plankenhorn piste.

On the course, which was significantly shorter due to the heavy snowfall of the past few days (2330 meters long instead of the usual 3650 meters), the DSV athlete crossed the finish line after 1.25,79:0,10 minutes. Valentin Giraud Moine from France took second place, just 0,16 seconds behind, while the Austrian Johannes Kröll came third in the only training run (+XNUMX).

Klotz best “Azzurro”

The best South Tyrolean and also the best of the Italian team followed in fourth place. World Cup athlete Siegmar Klotz, who missed qualifying for Sochi, finished fourth. However, he was already more than six tenths of a second behind (+0,65).

A total of 104 racers from 17 nations took part in the only downhill training on Monday. The first race will take place on Tuesday, February 4th. A descent that had to be canceled on Patscherkofel near Innsbruck will be rescheduled in Sarntal. Start time is at 10 a.m.
