Alongside Nils Hintermann, Yannick Chaples embodied Switzerland’s biggest upset at Val Gardena – in his second World Cup, the Nidwalden native of French descent came in 13th! As a result, the 22-year-old does not yet have a World Cup season ticket.
“At Yannick we really have to look from race to race to see where we can use it best,” coach Tom Stover says and gives reason: “As long as he’s not in the top 30 on the World Cup starting list, Yannick too the European Cup will remain a problem. That’s better. What he has, because by being third in the European Cup overall standings, he can get a fixed place for the World Cup.”
Otherwise, he had to repeatedly assert himself in the team’s internal qualifiers before the World Cup races, Stover continued. Beckenrieder is currently third in the European Cup downhill overall standings.
That’s why there is an opportunity in Bormio
Since the following European Cup sprint events aren’t on the program until January 11th, Chaples will now have another chance at the World Cup in Bormio. And as a bonus for his strong performance on “Saslong”, Yannick doesn’t have to qualify on “Stelvio” either.
