"I did what I had imagined, everything went well apart from the last thirty meters", says Francesco De Fabiani, "I knew it was windy, it was risky to attack first, but it was the only chance I had to try to win, because being behind and fighting in the sprint was almost impossible.It was much more likely to be able to do as I did, there is little lack.I am regretted on one side and happy from the other, is still the second podium at the Tour de Ski The condition is there, there is still no race, I hope not to lose positions in the Tour de Ski and to remain fourth, we will play it, I hope I will not suffer too much Final Climb ".
A river in flood, the Valle d'Aosta continues to tell: "The final sprint? I saw that the tips of the ski Klaebo approached quickly, unfortunately there was a lot of wind, was good, was behind me and took advantage of the wake, passing in the last few meters Congratulations to him, it was a good race, I tried and I'm satisfied, it's already all the Tour de Ski I do some good races, I missed something in the sprints, I miss something tactical level.In the distance is very important to save at every point and today I did well, in the sprint you can do it a little, but not too much because there when the moment is lost it is over.The ascent of Cermis is hard, even Northug has always left it, despite being the strongest cross-country player of recent times, I will try to give everything ".
