Goggia: “A victory with a mustache”
“They were two quite difficult days for me, because competing in a single race and exiting at the fifth door wasn’t easy – Sofia Goggia’s words at the end of the race. I didn’t think I’d be first at the finish line, also because the conditions change constantly. However, there is something that defeats fear, that is the decision. You need to have the courage to be precise even when you are not right inside. With such particular and changeable conditions, we who started in the top 15 were a bit ‘ in the dark. I knew that if there was a girl who could undermine me, it was Fede. But as someone who recently passed away would have said (Maurizio Costanzo, ed) I made ‘a descent with a mustache’. Right now I can’t think about the cup specialties, because I have to concentrate on myself and on the best gesture to bring to the race. Then at the end of each race we look at the light and if it’s green it’s better. At the end of the season we’ll settle the accounts on the Cup, for now I’m happy c Oh yeah”.
