Tenth after the first run. Thirteenth at the finish.
Thibaut Favrot knows this glacier. Fifth here a year ago, he came back to Sölden to attack again, and his first run showed it: a final sector within a hundredth of the fastest time on the hill.
A start like that is never one person’s work. It is the coaches, the technicians, the hands that prepare every pair of skis before dawn. And it is equipment built to hold the line when the race gets fast and the margin disappears.
The opener is behind us. The season is long, and the team is ready.
