The Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen, author of a huge comeback in the second round, won the World Cup slalom in Madonna di Campiglio (Italy) on Tuesday ahead of his compatriot Sebastian Foss-Solevaag and the Italian Alex Vinatzer.
Despite several faults, Clément Noël finished 5th at 44 hundredths.
Alexis Pinturault finished 6th at 54 / 100th tied with the German Linus Strasser and the double world champion Jean-Baptiste Grange, for his best result since a serious knee injury.
Only 12th in the first circuit, Kristoffersen achieved in this night slalom the 3rd fastest time of the 2nd heat and is 33 / 100th ahead of Foss-Solevaag, for his first podium since 2016, and the young Vinatzer (21 years old) of 34 / 100th, for his 2nd career podium.
Alexis Pinturault increases his lead in the general classification, with now 65 points more than the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who does not run the slaloms.
