Alexandre Aamodt Kelde (30) didn’t have the margins on his side when the downhill season ended in Andorra.
The race continues. VG updates the status.
From start number six at Soldeu, she led Kilde to a provisional fourth place, and so it was already clear that there would be no new place on the podium for the Norwegian.
Anyway, he can look back on a pretty awesome season downhill:
In ten World Cup races, there have been six wins and a third place in Kildee. Only Austrian legend Franz Kalmer can point to more downhill wins in a single season, with eight in the 1974-75 season.
Kilde also took the downhill for the second time in a row, winning silver during the WC in Courchevel.
– It’s a great season, says Fableplay expert Kjetil André Aamodt.
– I’ve been on top almost all season, so I can’t complain about the season in general, Kilde tells Viaplay.
On Wednesday’s race, where he is currently sixth, he says the following:
– There was little gasoline, but I did my best. It is very narrow at the top.
There is no doubt that it is narrow at the top. Source in joint sixth place is “only” 30-hundredths behind leader Vincent Krechmayer of Austria.
Kriechmayr leads by 9 and 23 hundredths respectively to German duo Romed Baumann and Andreas Sander.
Adrian Smiseth Sejersted had the best time ever in Intermediate II, but it lost from there on. At the finish line, he was 64 one-hundredths behind Krechmeyer, who is currently in eleventh place.
