Italian skiers Mattia Casse and Christof Innerhofer led the final training for the men's World Cup downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria by more than a second on Thursday while Canada's Erik Guay was 16th, two days before the classic race on the Streif.
Casse timed 1 minute, 56.85 seconds on the 3.3-kilometre course, leading his teammate by 0.34. Vincent Kriechmayr came 1.03 behind in third but the Austrian missed a gate and would have been disqualified in a race.
