It’s true that when we got kicked, after day one, it was a little hard, but the candidates were tired too I think. When they left for the slope sector, I could not accompany them. Then, I was lucky, that loosened up a bit and was able to count on Gino Mader bringing us back to the set. It held up but when the favorite was gone, it rolled in too fast for me. When I walked out more than a mile I was lucky, the candidates looked at each other. Since I wasn’t serious, I told myself I should go a little faster than them. The last kilometer wasn’t too hard, I just took a little driving. Fortunately they didn’t attack from the back because the last 150 meters were very difficult.”, Explanation about the development of his theater.
