felix Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 What do you think about the following statement taken from Sigi Grabner Homepage, can the Kessler dominance be broken?(knowing there are quite a lot of other SGS riders on the worldcup like Karl Benjamin.: PGS in Kronplatz ITA 16.01.2006 - 12:36 von Sigi Grabner A 10th place in the PGS in Italy was not really what I wanted to achieve! Although I really like the slope in Kronplatz and although the weather was fine and the snow was great, I had to let Nicolas Huet from France advance to the next heat. What had happened? Well, I was too direct at the 5th gate and missed it - DQU and penalty time. In the re-run I catched up more than 1,1 seconds but he made no mistake and I was edged out! This meant 10th place, and we are going to have a revenge next time! The podium was finally "pure Swiss": Philipp Schoch, Simon Schoch, Marc Iselin and Gilles Jaquet. I feel however very positive about two things - that Marion Kreiner on SG SNOWBOARDS had a good performance and ended 6th! - that both Simone Salvati and Roland Fischnaller on SG SNOWBOARDS have fixed their Olympic Qualification and are ready for TORINO 2006! I will have some days of riding in Italy and then we will go ahead for the next stop in Nendaz, Switzerland next Sunday! CU there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felix Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hey, I don't compete (anymore - did some Fis stuff and Austrian EC some years ago). The whole statement is from Sigi. - I better format it (though like 3-4 years ago I was in the same team as Karl Benjamin as we both live in Lower Austria but already by then I had no chance against him if he didn't crash) However I think I will give Sigis boards a try in Februar (they can be tested for free in Turrach - Austria). I just thought it's interesting that a new brand enters the worldcup. AFAIK they are produced at Elan but developed by Sigi Grabner only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
