It was important to confirm a track I have never gone to genius, when we made the cup race I saw that I was able to achieve a good balance, now we focus on the Speed ​​Masters next week, it will be tough to beat myself because here we shot enough floor the 'last year in France went really loud. we were in Vars in training in February, but these days it snowed and conditions may have changed. "
Simone Origone: "Last year I won two rounds on two of the track, this time something went wrong. Quest''anno've lost five pounds to ease the burden on my knees apart, but it did not help much.

I knew it would be complicated, then one always tries to have them pleasure, but it did not happen . we have not committed great errors, in hindsight i would have to reverse the skis between the semifinals and final, and even the wind did change the conditions of the snow. opponents have grown technically, the top three have the same ski man and has so much I maybe estremizzo at this time too the position at the expense of speed, I will have to review something in the next few days. now we'll go on the move again where we are best tracks, like in Vars and then Grand Valira. we will attempt the world next week records in France much will depend on what we find and track the weather conditions. "
