There are 15 victories in the format for Chicco, 16 in total. A champion, who thinks like a champion, now leader of the Sprint classification. The two performances in Davos and Dresden highlighted the condition of the blue and removed doubts about the absence of the Scandinavians. Pellegrino replied "present" and now looks to the future with confidence: "I am proud to keep the race number as leader of the specialty - he told Fisi.org -, now my thoughts go to the Tour de Ski where I have another good chance in Val Mustair in the sprint and then I want to redeem the sprint in Val di Fiemme last year, when I was eliminated in the quarters. The goal is to get to that point, but we know that a Tour de Ski is always a difficult appointment to plan and that you have to live day by day ". The analysis of today's match is also lucid, in which he had an almost perfect tactical conduct: "I risked a bit in the quarter-finals to stay a bit behind because there was a dangerous opponent like Chavanat who could create problems, in the semifinals instead I did a head race because I didn't want to risk making the end of last year and two years ago, when I started late on both occasions, with the result of being disqualified once and being pushed for land the other. So I preferred to stay in the front, knowing that four finalists were coming from the second semifinal and were a bit tired. I managed my forces well and finished in front of everyone ”.
