The 2019 world champion and 2018 Olympic silver medalist is just in the lead after the Super-G in Courchevel on Tuesday. He is 0.06 seconds ahead of second-placed defending champion Marco Schwarz from Austria. Third before the decisive slalom (2.30 p.m. / ZDF and Eurosport) is the Austrian Raphael Haaser (+0.14 seconds).
Simon Jocher, who has been injured for several weeks this season, is in 13th place. His German teammates Andreas Sander and Romed Baumann are in 15th and 18th place, but will no longer compete in the slalom.
