Kristoffersen leads on the Ganslernhang – Gross best Azzurro

When Michael Matt took a second off his previously dominant teammate and swung away as the leader at the finish, Hirscher wasn't the only one who looked in disbelief at the video wall in the Kitzbühl finish stadium. Henrik Kristoffersen, most recently of Felix Neureuther was harshly criticized , but subsequently went one better and led after the first run. In short: Matt and Kristoffersen were in a class of their own in the first part on the Ganslernhang.

Hirscher in third place, Gross best Azzurro

Stefano Gross had to act as test pilot with start number one - on an extremely difficult and slow slalom. This is another reason why the Trentino native should be happy with his current fifth place. But he is already 1,70 seconds behind Kristoffersen. But Hirscher, who is third, is already over a second behind.

Nevertheless: Last year, Hirscher was 1,02 seconds behind after the first run and was in ninth place. In the end he was still at the top. Even though it will be difficult, Hirscher has not yet written off his sixth slalom victory in a row. The second run starts at 13.30:XNUMX p.m.

Mölgg was hugely behind, Thaler was not there in the second run

Manfred Mölgg couldn't cope at all with the rotating run set by the Russian coach. When he swerved at the finish, he was temporarily last. He is 2,35 seconds behind the leading Norwegian. Patrick Thaler fared even worse. For him, in his last appearance in Kitzbühel, it wasn't enough for the second run. It wasn't enough for Riccardo Tonetti either. Fabian Bacher was disqualified.
