“In the giant so far I have been very regular, we have done half of the races and the road è is still long, but I started well – emphasized the skier from Valle d’Aosta at the microphones of Fisi -. Skiing on the skipped slope does not change me much, by now I am used to get an’idea directly during the reconnaissance and sometimes the day before the race, the sensations may be different".
"I adapt now to every situation, we will find salty snow and for me these are good conditions. This time I won't do the slalom on Sunday, I prefer to go to Passo San Pellegrino where I will be able to turn two days in the supergiant before the Altenmarkt stage, where there will be a downhill and two supergiants. Let's not lose sight of the goal that this year are the giants and super-giants" concluded Brignone.
