The world champion had to fight hard, a few kilometers from his home in Lenzerheide, to win a victory in the World Cup, the 24th face competition that has long believed able to do falter. Nothing to do with the script of the past weekend at Vallnord, where Scott pilot outrageously dominated the debate, almost to complete his final round in "touring" mode.
