Mathieu Faivre: "It's always special to race in front of his home crowd, and celebrate my first victory here is really incredible. I knew that Alexis had made a great race, but in these cases there is nothing to manage, to win you have to give everything in both heats. Now begins the difficult because I have to reconfirm, however, will remain calm, the season is long and I hope that the highlight is this victory, indeed, want to remain at this level throughout the year. "
Marcel Hirscher: "The route of the first heat was unique, very different from what I expected; the second gave me a lot of problems, partly because of poor visibility. Congratulations to Mathieu, has already proven in the past to be one of the best gigantism of the circuit and today was almost unbeatable. My second place is not bad, I have given everything and I could not do better. "
Alexis Pinturault: "I never thought of being able to get on the podium after the first run, where I made too many mistakes. In the second I stuck to the maximum to try and recover as much as possible. I'm happy to share this beautiful day with Mathieu and the rest of the team, to see so many French around Hirscher is formidable, we hope to repeat this performance although it will be difficult. "
