Pigneter & Clara Stay Perfect on the Season

From Passeiertal, ITA

(Jan. 13, 2018) The Italian doubles team of Patrick Pigneter and Florian Clara stayed perfect on the season in what appears to be a full return to form for the Italian duo.

After a 2016/2017 season where Pigneter & Clara struggled to find the same continual success they’d shown for the seasons prior, the Italians have come back strong.

Pigneter & Clara dominated the race in Passeiertal, entering the second heat with a .23 second advantage over Russians Aleksandr Egorov and Petr Popov. In the second heat that lead grew to what would be a .97 second victory over the Russians.

Italians Armin Folie and Simone Gaio finished third in the nine team field.
