"It's a relief after the disappointment of the cancellation of the giants who were supposed to compete this weekend. We have chosen the right strategy, focusing on repairing the speedway, which should allow us to deliver two weekends of competition. The resort's services and all the stakeholders of the organizing committee and the Sports Club have done a remarkable job to meet this challenge under difficult conditions. This is a sign for the mountain world, which needs to find a smile in the current context," says Ingrid Jacquemod, Director of the Val d'Isère Sports Club.
