A budget for this season I am 100% satisfied with how things went this season. My goal was to get into the top 30 and I finished in the top 15. Moreover, last summer I never thought I'd be able to participate in the Sochi Olympics, but I am qualified and take part in the Olympic Games is something important in the career of an athlete. How did you experience this first experience at the Olympics? You was a beautiful experience. You different from the World Cup. There is an Olympic village, it is all more together. There is a more quieter and more friendly. This year, you've made the leap, you're focused on what to be able to be among the most strongest in the world? I do not even know what it is success. I worked hard physically and it seems that this work has been paid off and this is a point from which it will share this summer. Even from a technical point of view, with the materials we have worked in the right direction and this gives me hope for the future. It is about you and Roberto Nani as the "new" Blardone and Simoncelli. What do you think? Davide Simoncelli for me was like an older brother. Has always given me great advice since I arrived in the team. You was an important base for me. We're both Trentino, we know each other very well, we travel together, we have a good relationship. I hope to pick up his legacy and do something even more. What are your plans this summer to prepare for the next season? Now I'm trying to do a little ' materials testing since there is still a lot of snow and the conditions are good. Then I will focus labor athletic and August will go in Argentina. There are goals that already you place in the next year? I would like to take part in the World Championships in Vail, and once obtained the qualification, work at their best to win a medal. You also have another passion, motocross. What unites this sport to skiing? There are so many things like that. Motocross is a sport where you have to be very concentrated, you have to know what's behind a bump or a curve just as in skiing. You a type of sport that you train both physically and mentally.
