Federica Brignone with a bitter taste in her mouth

The words of Federica Brignone

Federica Brignone chews bitterly after second place just a whisker away from first: "A good weekend, I’m sorry becauseé right after the little street I went a little bit’ long and I had to tread a little bit’ too much and I lost a lot of time for the flat. Then I did a’very good final part, but Venier did an excellent middle part and è front".

"It burns me a little bit’ becauseé I am often behind by a few hundredths, but è soì. I don’t think about the rankings, I want to go race by race and try to do the best each time. The next races in Italy will be at Passo San Pellegrino and lì I hope I can pull full speed from the’beginning to the end. I want to have good races”.

“A super weekend – said Marta Bassino instead -, I am really happy with this weekend, I am happy with everything. It was really difficult, the snow was mush, it had no consistency. I made a mistake at the’entrance of the flat and I lost speed, but I stayed focused. It’ s been a continuous progress, I knew I was doing some sections well, now è came more awareness and everything works better. These races give me confidence and I will continue on this path. Thursday; I will do one day of giant and then we will be back to speed in Val di Fassa”.
