Elite Men

Val di Sole belongs to Nino Schurter having won 9 times on the course, with the latest win just last year – can he make it 10 wins this weekend? It’s hard to rule out the Specialized Factory Racing trio of Christopher Blevins, Victor Koretzky & Martin Vidaurre Kossmann.

Elite Women

Samara Maxwell has had a great start to the season and is the current overall World Cup leader, can she get another win? Puck Pieterse will be looking to continue her winning streak from Leogang.

U23 Men

Finn Treudler is the man to beat this year with 3 wins to his name to far this season, can World Cup overall number 2 Gustav Heby Pedersen get another win?

U23 Women

With Isabella Holmgren still out of racing after a crash in the rock section at Nove Mesto na Morave, now’s the chance for Ella Macphee to extend her overall lead.
