World champion Mathieu Faivre also takes the lead at the break of the second giant slalom of the men’s alpine world cup on Sunday in Bansko, Bulgaria. The Frenchman is 0.42 seconds ahead of Swiss Loic Meillard and 0.79 seconds ahead of compatriot Alexis Pinturault. The best Austrian is Roland Leitinger in ninth place (+2.03), on Saturday third Stefan Brennsteiner enters the break in tenth (+2.09). Marco Schwarz is already 2.45 behind, Manuel Feller 3.07.
Saturday’s winner Filip Zubcic from Croatia is already 3.10 behind after an error, but that was enough for the final classification because the differences were great.
Brennsteiner missed the line a bit on the steep incline, but with the 21st start he was the highest-numbered runner in the top 15 (after 40 runners). For the final I expected a “clean race”. Leitinger performed well after a retirement in the first race, but there is still room for improvement. “In the last passage I missed what I needed to be able to tour better,” he said in the ORF TV interview.
For Schwarz it felt “catastrophic from above.” If you have thoughts while driving that something is not right, then that is difficult. Feller noticed that the slope had changed compared to the previous day and more ribs came out. “But if you drive well, you don’t have three seconds. I have to see what I did wrong. “
