From Winterleiten, AUT
(Dec. 18, 2020) – The doubles team of Patrick Pigneter & Florian Clara backed up their win on Thursday with another win to go two-for-two in Winterleiten.
Pigneter & Clara were again the class of the field, with the Italians setting the fast time in both heats on their way to a .73 second victory over Austrian’s Christoph Regensburger & Dominik Holzkecht.
The winners have yet to be beaten in a single heat this season. In fact, while in Winterleiten they had the four fastest competition runs of the weekend.
Regensburger & Holzkecht moved up from third place in the first run to second after putting down a second run that was only .04 off of the pace set by Pigneter & Clara.
Race 1 silver medalists Patrick & Matthias Lambacher finished third, just ahead of Austria’s Fabian & Simon Achenrainer in fourth. Bine & Blaz Mekina and Myroslv & Ivan Lenko rounded out the top six.
