Briko and Benjamin Raich: champions to beat!

We left them on the highest step of the podium, rejoicing for their fabulous victories at the Winter Olympics in Turin and the World Cup.
We'll be meeting them together again in a few days for the first official World Cup competition 2006/2007.
Briko and Benjamin Raich are ready to give their all to defend their last year's title.

Benni Raich enjoyed the season 2005/2006 continually at the top of his performance, with his 10 Cup victories and the World Champion title, as well as the 2 gold medals in the giant slalom and the special slalom achieved at the Winter Olympics in Turin.
Raich is definitely 'the man to beat' this season and he will start the battle for his opponents in the first World Cup Special Slalom trials to be fought out at Levi (Finland) on 12 November 2006.

Raich has chosen Briko, the Italian brand leader in the production of sports accessories and clothing as his technical partner on every slope he has attempted.
And this year too the Austrian skier will be wearing the matching Stratos carbon helmet, which is resistant, comfortable and unique since it is personalized by Briko with Raich's signature, and the Odissey mono-lens mask, which encompasses all of Briko's experience to offer the skier an extremely ergonomic product that guarantees a clear and wide field of vision thanks to the scratchproof, shockproof and waterproof Thrama® D.I.M. (Double Injection Moulded) lenses.
