Noel reports back – Vinatzer is eliminated

Eliminated in Alta Badia, 5th place in Madonna: Noel didn't get up to speed yet in the new season. Now the 23-year-old, who missed the small crystal ball by just 2 measly points in the last slalom winter, has sent a strong sign of life. Noel started the race with start number 7 and conjured up a fantastic time in the snow in thick fog, especially in the lower part of the route, which left the competition tough. Only Sebastian Foss-Solevaag was faster in the first run until the last split, but the Norwegian made a serious mistake in the lower part of the route. Nevertheless, Foss-Solevaag is in second place and still within striking distance, 1 hundredths of a second behind. Two Austrians, Manuel Feller and Marco Schwarz, took third and fourth place. There was no South Tyrolean in the second round For South Tyrol's shooting star Alex Vinatzer, however, things didn't go as planned. The 21-year-old from Val Gardena, who finished 4th and 3rd this season, moved into the upper part of the route after a strong split. Simon Maurberger will also not collect any World Cup points on Wednesday. The Ahrntaler fell behind on the steep final slope and was eliminated. The best Azzurro is currently Giuliano Razzoli in 27th place. Manfred Mölgg, who lost a lot of time, especially in the lower part of the route, was unable to qualify for the second round in 32nd place.
