Hello Francis and first congratulations for the results of Ruka and Beitostolen, six pi & ugrave; happy for the placings achieved thus far in the season or annoyed at the fact that you & egrave; escaped very little result in the top 10? Hello and thanks for the compliments! I am very happy with my placings of these two trips early season ... Surely the thirteenth place in Ruka & egrave; was a surprise, because & eacute; I was hoping to do well but I did not expect to be able to be among the top 15 in the world in the first race of the World Cup, knowing & egrave; one of the pi & ugrave; hard all season because & eacute; all arrive in shape. As for Lillehammer are absolutely satisfied with my placings of sprint and 10 Km TL. While instead of 15 in the final of the classic tracking remains for me a little mini-tour '' of regret because & eacute; I felt good, but unfortunately because of the difficult conditions prior to departure I was wrong to choose skiing with the wax solid perch & eacute; later it stopped snowing and the end of the first lap onwards I struggled a lot with the seal. But do not get me wrong I'm happy with my 18 & deg; place, also because & eacute; just before leaving for the classic 15 in Ruka would have paid for a 18th place in the World Cup. Will you be present in Davos, in the 15km classic could give you another excellent placement, are you okay? In Davos, I hope to get a '' another good result in the 15 Km. You were by far the & rsquo; Italian pi & ugrave; strong in this season. In addition to your net growth, how do you explain the difference in performance with the other boys and girls, & egrave; a peak of your form or did you do something different than the other? Actually & agrave; I did not explain it myself, we did the same program ... Anyway & egrave; throughout the 'summer tests go well, then I knew I was grown up, but I did not think of cos & Igrave; so much ... There have been many controversies on the performance beginning of the year the fund Italian, especially with regard to the women's team, what do you think? Pu & ograve; found to be a primary cause of materials, training or athletes themselves? Actually & agrave; I'm sorry that the women's team is not playing the right foot, I could not find a root cause. Surely at least one occasion the materials have played a bad joke, but not enough to explain why & eacute; Italian is the first out of the 50 at the end of the mini-tour. What goals do you place for the season? The 'goal I set myself for this season was to be able to stay on Team A in the next season, he meant to do at least 20 points in the World Cup having less than 25 years, the strange thing & egrave; the thirteenth d & agrave; just 20 points, so to my second race I had already & agrave; completed the 'main goal this season. The 'secondary goal was to qualify for the World Cup in Falun, what & egrave; get at least two placings in the top 15 .... this also completed !! You're under 23 seconds in the overall standings behind a phenomenon as Iivo Niskanen has already & agrave; won an Olympic gold. You think you can play if not victory, a placing in the top three of this ranking? They are second in the overall standings under 23, you may have a new goal to be able to stand on the podium of this special list, although I have yet to figure out if my level right now & egrave; given from a peak of form or if he can & ograve; to keep it constant throughout the season ... Which do you think is the race format that pi & ugrave; suits you? I do not know, at the time the race format pi & ugrave; suitable for me seems to be the 15 Km TC, although the Olympics for example & egrave; was my race '' worst '' .... In any case, if I had to choose now what race starting choose without doubt this. Many thanks Francesco and good luck for the next races! Thanks to you, & egrave; was a pleasure!
