Noel & Feller: Two outsiders lead in Wengen

The slalom dominator from Austria is unusually far behind after the first run in Wengen. Hirscher is “only” 1th at the same time as his teammate Michael Matt and is already over nine tenths of a second behind the leader, Frenchman Noel. Hirscher was not at all satisfied with his ride, but apparently also with the material on the Swiss ice slope. The Salzburg man left the finish area in Wengen in a rage.

Noel in a class of his own Noel had a dream run. The young Frenchman reached the podium for the first time in his World Cup career in Adelboden a week ago. Is he now getting his first win? Possible, because Noel's lead over second-placed Manuel Feller is already 42 hundredths. And the North Tyrolean is also three tenths ahead of third-placed Henrik Kristoffersen (he was particularly quick in the final part). But nothing has been decided in Wengen yet. On the one hand, an attack from Hirscher is to be expected, on the other hand, Feller in particular is considered a Harakiri pilot and for the 21-year-old Noel, a half-time lead is a novelty. South Tyroleans with a catastrophe record The South Tyroleans couldn't cope with the icy conditions in Wengen at all. They dropped out one by one: first Simon Maurberger, then Alex Vinatzer, then Fabian Bacher and Riccardo Tonetti also didn't make it to the finish. So it's once again up to veteran Manfred Mölgg, who has to keep the flags high. The man from Enneberg is in 12th place at halftime (1,41 seconds behind Noel) and is therefore the second best “Azzurro”. Stefano Gross from Trentino is in 7th place.

But it wasn't just the South Tyroleans who had to struggle with the slopes. Even slalom greats like Ramon Zenhäuser, Julien Lizeroux and Mattias Hargin didn't see the finish line.
