Pinturault perfect in Adelboden Giant Slalom
Alexis Pinturault was in a class of his own in today’s men’s Audi FIS World Cup giant slalom in Adelboden (SUI). The Frenchman turned in the fastest times of both the first and second run and earned the victory with a commanding 1.04-second advantage.
It was the second giant slalom victory for Pinturault in Adelboden, his first coming four years ago. It was also his second giant slalom win in a row after he picked up right where he left off before the holiday break after also dominating in Alta Badia.
Conditions were ideal for the racers today in Adelboden with cloudless blue skies and freezing temperatures, setting up the optimal giant slalom course.
