Hirscher leads extremely strong on the Gran Risa – Eisath

While Hirscher was still behind the previous leader Mathieu Favre in the first intermediate times, he conjured up the perfect line in the final part on one of the most difficult giant slalom slopes in the World Cup and moved ahead of the French in 1.16,81:0,21 minutes. Favre is in second place, 0,81 seconds behind. Third place goes to Florian Eisath from Eggen, who also performed well in his home race and lost “only” XNUMX seconds to Hirscher.

“I've been telling myself for days that I finally have to give it my all from top to bottom. When you drive at home, you have to put on a show for the spectators. I got good tips from Max Blardone, now it’s time to attack fully in the second round,” said Eisath in an interview with Rai Sport.

His teammate Philipp Schörghofer was faster than Hirscher, but he was eliminated after a mistake a few goals before the finish. With Manfred Mölgg (St. Vigil in Enneberg), a second South Tyrolean will be involved in the decision from 12.30 p.m. The 34-year-old took 21st place, 2,37 seconds behind Hirscher.

The other local giant slalomists - Riccardo Tonetti, Simon Maurberger, Alex Zingerle and Hannes Zingerle - have to watch the second round.
