MARCEL HIRSCHER: "Race wonderful, if only you knew that negative feelings I had yesterday on skis .... But finally today I was able to ski well and I could not be happier, really.'' It is important for me to win when Ted is ; competitive. I did everything I could to get as close as possible to him in giant, it's tough to try to go faster each time, but eventually the work has paid off. " ALEXIS Pinturault: "Happy and proud of this podium, it's nice to know that you can compete with the best. I did not do any special preparation for the race today, after I tested Val d'' Isere ski a little''. Was not happy with my set-up in North America and France, when they finished off the podium. We changed something and here I am again. must continue like this. TED Ligety: "La Gran Risa? Ghiacciatissima Usually it is not today. Difficult to push hard in such conditions. But we train for that ... Maybe I could give more, especially in the first round, but that's okay , that was it. When you get on the podium you have to be happy, and even though today I was much slower than usual. Anyway, you have to be happy. " MANFRED Moelgg (sixteenth): "Second run well below my expectations, I have to try to figure out what happened because it needed something different.'m Still not skiing at the level of the other, we have to work on ourselves." Davide Simoncelli (twenty): "Two rounds like, a mediocrity that for the moment leads me these results.'' I have the experience to not destroy me, surely the'' last year things were better, we continue to work." Max Blardone (twenty-fifth): "I am certainly not happy, I hope to improve in the coming occasions. Remains for me the race in Adelboden to catch the Olympic qualification, I'll eat a little cake to train even more."
