AP, HINTERSTODER, AustriaAlexis Pinturault on Monday won a men’s World Cup giant slalom for his second win in two days as the French skier returned to the top of the overall standings. Pinturault added 250 points to his tally over the three-day event in the Austrian Alps to overtake Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. The Norwegian finished Monday’s race in sixth and now trails Pinturault by 26 points with six races left on the calendar. Having carved out a lead of 0.90 seconds over Philip Zubcic in the opening run, Pinturault lost half of his advantage over his Croatian competitor after posting only the 21st-fastest time in the final run. “There are two grand slalom races and two slaloms left — that’s 400 points.”Unlike Pinturault, Kristoffersen is to sit out the upcoming speed weekend in Norway.
