After a risky run, von Allmen distanced Paris by 65 hundredths and the US American Cochran-Siegle by 70 hundredths. He is therefore on the verge of his second downhill victory of the season, having triumphed in Val Gardena/Gröden in December.
It would be his second victory in the downhill in Crans-Montana, having already won in Valais a year ago. Back then, he beat Marco Odermatt and Alexis Monney in the Swiss one-two-three.
This year, however, Odermatt is just off the podium in fourth place after 30 riders. This is the first time he has missed out on the top three in a World Cup downhill after eight races. The series started a year ago, also in the downhill in Crans-Montana. Odermatt is nine hundredths off the podium.
With Lars Rösti (6th), Alessio Miggiano (8th) and Alexis Monney (10th), three other Swiss racers are currently in the top 10.
Italy's Giovanni Franzoni was unable to build on his good results from previous races. The winner of the downhill in Kitzbühel has to settle for 20th place at 1.74 seconds.
