Myriam Nicole finished third but far from the first two (+6 seconds), confirming that thelast period was not easy.
Very good 5th place for Eleonora Farina, always very solid, as well as Veronika Widmann, 9th place.
Among men, Laurie Greenland wins in front of the young Charlie Hatton (let's see if he will be able to confirm himself today) and Greg Minnaar, back again at the top of the charts just 2.490 seconds behind his teammate Laurie. Class is not water for the world champion Greg.
Loic Bruni out from the games for a bad fall. Too bad for Davide Palazzari who was unable to test the track well due to a very strong headache, jeopardizing the qualification (85th). Here are his words before qualifying: "I am not clear that I got it but a very strong headache made it impossible for me to ride. I tried anyway but it was getting dangerous and I had to let it go. I keep my fingers crossed to be able to take part in qualifying". Just behind Marcello Pesenti (87th). Discreet 34th place for Loris Revelli, called today to a great run.
