France's Jean-Baptiste Grange claimed his first World Cup victory in the men's slalom on Monday.
Slalom bronze medalist at the 2007 world championships, the 23-year-old clocked the fastest times in both runs for a combined 1min 36.12sec to finish 0.74sec ahead of Germany's Felix Neureuther.
American Ted Ligety finished third at 1.40sec.
Grange takes the overall slalom lead with 176 points ahead of Swiss Marc Gini (149) and Austrian Benjamin Raich (136). Raich crashed out in the first run when he missed a gate but holds the overall World Cup lead.
