Vincent Kriechmayr skied a supposedly damaged ski to fifth place (+2.07 seconds). Last year’s winner wanted to have caught a stone like the eliminated Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. “Annoying, but part of it,” said Kriechmayr. Daniel Danklmaier was in 14th place after 30 riders (+2.92), Daniel Hemetsberger lost a top 15 placement in the upper part with a wide line (+3.42 seconds). Otmar Striedinger was more than four seconds behind.
