Pinturault will open Sölden

After Cancellation of the women's Rieson slalom on Saturday it should finally work today on Sunday. At 10.00 a.m. the first athlete will throw himself from the start house into the slope at the classic in Sölden. This year that honor goes to Alexis Pinterault. The Frenchman is by no means an unknown quantity in the Austrian ski stronghold, so he won the start of the 2019 season and also finished in a strong 5th place last year. He was 63 hundredths short of the winner. His name was Marco Odermatt, who impressively dominated last winter. The Swiss was given starting number 3. Both drivers are considered hot potato in the fight for victory. After Odermatt, Henrik Kristofferson wants to prove in fourth place on the grid that he has made full use of the summer. Luca de Aliprandini will open the season for the Azzurri at 7. However, the home fans have to wait a little for the first South Tyrolean. But patience will be rewarded, because Dominik Paris from Ultimo starts his race with number 34. Simon Maurberger took the number 43, Riccardo Tonetti 49, Alex Hofer started his Sölden debut at the head of a South Tyrolean double pack in starting position 58, while Alex Zingerle followed in 59th. How effectively the fastest South Tyrolean giant slalom skiers have used their preparation will be shown at 10.00 a.m. Whether one of the local skiers will compete for victory is unlikely to happen. However, it is important to get the season off to a successful start. The starting list: Pos Name Country 1. Alexis Pinturault France 2. Manuel Feller Austria 3. Marco Odermatt Switzerland 4.
