At 11.30 the start of the training for the descents on Friday and Saturday (but an inversion is evaluated for the second race with the slalom, due to worsening weather). The Salzburg ace, in a forerunner version, drives the fans crazy.

In Kitzbuehel the weather is ok and everything is ready for the first of the two official tests in view of the descents on the Streif, even if from tomorrow a worsening with snow and above all wind is expected for Saturday, when the second race could even undergo a shift to Sunday , anticipating the slalom by 24 hours, a decision that will be taken this afternoon after a further consultation with the weather stations involved.
The news of the day in the Austrian temple, however, is the arrival of Marcel Hirscher in a forerunner version on the Streif, with the F3 bib (assigned in the official startlist to Maximilian Mayrhofer …) and the social message of the Salzburg champion who unleashed the fans . “It’s getting serious, it’s time to take a ride on the Streif.” Of course with his Van Deer ski brand on his feet …
Then it will be the first challenge, albeit only at the test level, among the greats of the descent with Innerhofer bib number 2, Kilde at the start for fifth, Feuz with 9 and Paris with 15.
First test of the Kitzbuehel men’s descent that you can follow on NEVEITALIA, starting at 11.30 with the FIS live timing service.
