Long morning of fast speed today.
At 10:30 (CET) kickoff of ladies' downhill in Garmisch, followed by men's downhill in Kvitfjell at 11:45 (CET).
In his homeland Svindal is seeking points for both Overall and Downhill Globes.
In Germany Maze needs at least a 4th place to keep alive her hope for the Downhill Cup.
Yesterday the Super-G in Garmisch was affected by the early worn of the snow, that played an important role for the winner, Tina Weirather.
Today I expect something similar to happen:
h2h Marchand-Arvier - Gut - pick Marchan-Arvier 2 units @2.42 Lost -2
Marchand-Arvier is bib #9, Gut is 15.
Gut still too much up and down. She's aggressive and takes many risks resulting in some great performances and many mistakes. Allegedly the bad snow conditions won't suit her style. Still she's able of doing anything.
Marchand-Arvier, as the whole french team, recently has leveled up her performances.
h2h RuizCastillo - Weirather - pick Ruiz-Castillo 2 units @2.37 Lost -2
Ruiz-Castillo in no.8, Weirather is 17 in the starting list.
As said before Weirather took great benefit from her low number, #3, yesterday to claim her first career win.
And so did Ruiz-Castillo, #4, who was 6th, 0.33 s behind Weirather.
So the two are close in their skills.
Ruiz-Castillo recently claimed her first career win, last weekend in Meribel; she has worked a lot and partly with the french team and results are coming for her.
-4
No way Marchand-Arvier can beat Gut when Gut is in a good day.
Anyway both lost because it's worked opposit to my thinking: the course has become faster as the race went on.
In other news Maze made history beatind Hermann Maier's points record of 2000 overall points.
