Alexis Pinturault: "E '' a special day for me because & eacute; & egrave; my first victory in giant after many years. Quest''anno Marcel & egrave; was really hard to beat, and finally l & rsquo; I did. I'm really happy. And '' was much more & ugrave; hard in the second round, because & eacute; was much more & ugrave; irregular under the tracks so you had to be really smooth over bumps. Some guys can ski very, very fast in these conditions and have to be careful. In the end you do not know What have you ever done until you pass the finish line. " Marcel Hirscher: & ldquo; This & egrave; the first time since the rule change on skis that I won the cup of the giant. For me, they were two years with a lot of thoughts and disappointment against Ted. I was 2 & rdquo; 7 behind Ted in the first race on skis pi & ugrave; long. We realized that we were well & Igrave; away from Ted and that was the 'beginning of a long road and a lot of work, many tests and different setup. Many people have worked hard for this success. Not & egrave; can win the cup if you wake evil general in a discipline, you have to have two disciplines very good. If I had to choose, I would say that I prefer to ultimately win the cup or general than that of giant slalom. Ma & egrave; very nice to win one of the giant. I d & agrave; extra power for the next few races so I hope they can get both the two cups & rdquo ;. Thomas Fanara: & ldquo; Today & egrave; a very good day for the French team ski. And '' a special feeling to share the podium with Alexis. And '' always better not to be the 'only Frenchman on the podium. I'm really happy to be with these two incredible champions, Marcel and Alexis. I am very happy to be on the podium today because & eacute; I started my career in the World Cup here (actually & agrave; l & rsquo; he began to Adelboden, ed) and I thought that one day I got on this podium. This & egrave; that day. I think my technique of skiing is better on this track and with this snow condition. And we know that with my skis Fischer, the best condition & egrave; when & egrave; difficult and c & rsquo; & egrave; a bit '' of ice. When the snow is salted with spring temperatures, & egrave; pi & ugrave; difficult for the team Fischer. When the snow & egrave; as in winter, we have a chance & agrave; ".
