This time the problem is not the snowfall that yesterday conditioned a race that, in the end, was still regular and even more beautiful and spectacular, but the temperatures and conditions of the snow cover presented a decidedly complicated situation regarding the possibility. that the track could hold, even on a splendid sunny day. “Unfortunately during the night the temperatures did not drop enough, the surface was not so compact throughout the track – explains the referee of the women’s cup, Peter Gerdol – It is a dangerous type of surface for athletes, so we still have to work in the snow, with a strike in two groups during the day to be prepared for tomorrow ”.
Having thus available the recovery day, as happened with the men last week in Santa Caterina Valfurva, this morning the jury of the race has chosen to postpone it until Monday. Today at 5:00 p.m. a new meeting of the captains with the extraction of the bib, tomorrow the third giant of the season (time should help) set with qualifying at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
