"'' It was a long and tiring work - says Simone Bertazzo, pilot blue bob 2 -, we have tested and proven throughout the season to get ready for this race and it seems that there is some result. Machine is beautiful to drive, I like the track. determinants will be starting numbers, the lower the better, I hope that the ice conditions is low and then drive right curve 5, and 9 to get well in 10. There and the time is done. Obviously we must push hard and try to minimize the gap from the best. " "The first run depends on the number of departure - explains Bertazzo - then we fight.'' And I have all the intention to move up the heat after heat. We will give the maximum and the accounts will make them at the end." In the two blue bob will be pushed by Simone Fontana, selected in tests last week in Innsbruck. The most formidable rivals will always be the Germans and the Russians, in addition to'' American Holcomb and the Swiss Hefti. "The Germans are very hidden in the tests, and maybe someone else - continues Bertazzo - after the first run we will see what are the true values. We might be surprised. Probably you can do a low 56 in the race and you have to approach the as much as possible to be competitive.'s not forget the Russians who want to plunder and who knows what they have been working on this track.
