Two tracks that need no introduction, authentic cathedrals of the White Circuswhere history weighs as much as the stopwatch.
The series Wengen–Kitzbühel confirmed a certainty: the blue jet men they can still provide satisfaction. The symbolic face of this phase is Giovanni Franzoni. Il 24 year old from BresciaBetween Lauberhorn and Streifhe enchanted in super-G and descentputting together four podiums in three temples of speed as Val Gardena, Wengen and Kitzbühel. Numbers that tell of a golden moment within a team in turmoil: Florian Schieder is clearly growing in condition, Dominik Paris wants to return to the protagonist, Mattia Casse is determined to leave his mark, without forgetting theeternal Christof Innerhoferalways ready to challenge the passing time.
The ombrehowever, there is no shortage, especially in the technical disciplines.

Also unexpected was the summons of Tommaso Saccardi among menhowever depending on the format of the paired combination.
