The Norwegian, who won the small crystal globe last season, was a mere 0.07 seconds quicker than compatriot Lucas Braathen in Val d’Isere on Sunday. As the best Austrian, Manuel Feller (+0.56) is in third place. Marco Schwarz is also close to the podium, 0.75 seconds behind.
The Carinthian was in seventh place after 30 runners had started. Feller, second in the giant slalom on Saturday behind overall World Cup leader Marco Odermatt, was not satisfied with his run in the middle section. Once he almost threaded, reported the Tyrolean. The still manageable deficit is a sign that the form is right.
Adrian Pertl (+1.51) showed a solid ride on his comeback after a year’s break due to a cruciate ligament tear and left his teammate Fabio Gstrein (+1.64) behind. Michael Matt (+2.35) was far behind.
On the piste, which was as restless as the day before, there were three failures among the top athletes. Johannes Strolz from Vorarlberg, as well as Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath and last year’s winner Clement Noel, the local hero, whose home resort is Val d’Isere, were in the lead.
The second round begins at 12:30 p.m.
