Present this Friday in Kitzbühel, Vaucluse Jean Alesi declared his love for the skiers whom he considers “gladiators” because of the light outfits they wear. .
Former Formula 1 driver, Vauclusian Jean Alesi knows a thing or two about safety. Invited for the second consecutive time by the Austrian Gerhard Berger in Kitzbühel, his former teammate at Ferrari, was at the foot of the Streif this Friday for the super-G.
After paying tribute to Cyprien Sarrazin of whom he “thinks very highly” and confessing his admiration, the Avignon resident gave his opinion, on Johan Clarey's Eurosport microphone, on the skiers' outfits while the falls multiplied this Friday on the Austrian track. “ It's really impressive to see the skiers here. But I find that security is a little light, especially in the way of dressing, the helmets… I hope that there will be changes because, seeing them leave in these outfits, they are gladiators,” he emphasized.
Words which echo in particular the falls of Cyprien Sarrazin, at the end of December in Bormio, Alexis Pinturault and Florian Loriot, this Friday.
