Josef Ferstl made a big surprise at the Super-G in Kitzbühel and celebrated his second World Cup victory in Austria's Ski Mecca. 40 years after the second descent of his father's descent Sepp in the same place, the 30-year-old sat down on the famous strip gossamer in front of the French Johan Clarey (0.08 seconds back) through. Third in an exciting race was downhill winner Dominik Paris (Italy / 0,10).
"It's brutally tight, I knew I had to fight it, that's the streak! I'm happy," said Ferstl on ORF. Because he was on the road in the Super-G ungliebten race number 1 as a "test pilot" on the road, his victory is all the better. Dominik Schaiger finished the good twelfth place.
His Ferstl's father had won the legendary Kitzbühel downhill in 1978 and 1979, last year sensationally won Thomas Dreßen from Mittenwald. In the Super-G, which was first on the program in "Kitz" in 1995, never was a German better than Achter. Josef "Pepi" Ferstl had his first success in December 2017 in Val Gardena in the Super-G.
Weidle also on the podium
