In a truly world class field, the British duo missed out on the Silver medal by just a third of a second, finishing in a time of 2.29.35 to Franteseva's 2.29.02.
Gallagher after the race said:
"I'm so happy to be back on snow after the Paralympics, Charlotte and I have been working hard
"Gallagher and Evans have only skied together a few weeks and so these early results prove there is much more to come" said Coach Jane Stevens.
Also in the race was Sean Rose - missing out on a Bronze by 0.4 seconds. Sean has had two narrow medal misses in his first two races now and is determined to get back on the podium in the races that remain.
Other Brits Talan Skeels Piggins (winner of the SuperG in Pitztal), Mick Brennan and Anna Turney had good first runs but unfortunately did not complete the second run.
Hopes are high too for the GS tomorrow where GB want to continue their medal winning run and add to the 6 medals earned already this season.
