How considers his start to the season?
Not all'' height, the shape is still there'' and the'''' s only positive note I had with sixth place in Davos, even if my legs did not feel good either shoot them, but the season is still long.
In the last weekend of races in Asiago failed to express in the best way, what did not work?
This track. He was not there to do this race. Asiago boasts some of the most beautiful districts of the fund'' s Italian and not only that, I did not understand why the'' have wanted to do in a park, long 1600mt (as do two laps and not many places to make most spectacular race), and without demanding climbs particularly where almost all of the athletes started to push, knowing that we Italians are struggling in this format. I chose to go with the wax on principle, and of course I paid with two tutt'' more than satisfactory results.
What are your goals for the Tour de Ski?
Attending solely to make good sprint. In the prologue I have to improve, given the disappointing results of the past two years, while in the 15 tracking'll go to save. Obviously my tour ends with a sprint.
Regarding the general objectives of the Italian team? What do you think can get from the Tour de Ski?
'' I believe that Italy can aspire to place two athletes in the top ten and get some good results in sprint races in classic technique and Cermis, in virtually every stage c'' is someone who can tell her.
He speaks Italian very bottom, as a movement in difficulty. What do you think?
As for the last few years but I agree up to a point: the'' Last year the men were ranked fifth in the ranking by nation behind Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland. Quest'' year instead for now we are in trouble with regard to the results, but we have worked well and are confident. On the other hand, women think we need patience. At age 23, nobody expected anything from the various Follis, Longa and Genuin.
