None of the 43 athletes at the start revealed their cards for the race. Marco Odermatt also rode in a controlled manner and slowed down well before the finish. As the best Swiss, he finished in 3rd place, four tenths behind Cochran-Siegle, directly ahead of Alexis Monney. Franjo von Allmen lost around a second on the best time and finished seventh.
Stefan Rogentin, who will duel with Niels Hintermann for the fourth Swiss starting place in Thursday's training, finished eighth, around eight tenths faster than the man from the Zurich Oberland. Odermatt, who leads the World Cup discipline rankings, world champion Von Allmen and Monney, who won the downhill on the Stelvio piste last year, are seeded for Saturday's race.
Training came to an unpleasant end for Fredrik Möller. The Norwegian crashed, injured his shoulder and had to be transported away by helicopter. The 25-year-old had already crashed heavily in Val Gardena/Gröden. A year ago, Möller celebrated his first and so far only World Cup victory in the super-G in Bormio.
