After qualifying earlier today, the Elite racers returned to the track to compete in semi-finals to determine who would advance to finals. Vali Höll had a strong performance in France, following up her fastest qualifying time with another fastest time in semi-finals. Höll seems to be in top form this weekend as she dominates the slippery slopes in Les Gets. Myriam Nicole came in second place, 1.29 seconds behind Höll, and is eager to secure a win on home soil. Tahnee Seagrave finished third, just 0.13 seconds ahead of Monika Hrastnik, who is an expert on the Les Gets track.
In the men’s category, Dakotah Norton also achieved wins in qualifying and semi-finals as he inches closer to his first World Cup win and seeks redemption for narrowly missing out in Val di Sole. Amaury Pierron was unable to match Norton’s pace, finishing 1.395 seconds behind. Loic Bruni made a comeback from a slower qualifying run and finished in third place, being the only other rider within three seconds of Norton. The full results for both the Elite Women and Elite Men categories are listed below:
