I was smart and I learned to wait for the right moment, I have been able to manage the situation. I have not gone wrong, but in the early laps Tom (Luthi) and Marcel (Schrotter) had better pace than me. My goal at that time was to reduce the distance to them and gradually I succeeded. So I was able to overtake first to Marcel. Later, seeing Lüthi suffered with the rear tire, I decided to try to pass him and settle into the rhythm I had in the Warm Up. The plan has worked perfectly and gradually have been consolidated overtaking. I am very happy because the team has once again made a great job. Second consecutive victory, something not achieved since 2014, a year that did not end bad. But we can not relax, the World Cup is very long and we must continue working on the same line. "
