Pirovano stood out last year, with three placings close to the podium in descent, fourth in Crans Montana and fifth in St. Anton and in Val di Fassa. It was the well-deserved award after years of torment for injuries to the other knee, the right one, first for a sprain with bone contusion, then on January 21, 2018, on the eve of PyeongChang, the rupture of the crusader.
