It is a Alexis Pinturault inevitably in the angels who presented himself in front of the media, Saturday, afternoon after his masterclass during the second round of the giant finals.
Unplayable in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, the Frenchman offered his first big globe on his thirtieth birthday, 24 years after the coronation of Luc Alphand.
“It's the best day of my career.
It's just sensational!
There were a lot of emotions, Pinturault told our antenna, on RMC.
After Kranjska Gora, it was difficult.
I knew that everything was going to be decided in the final and that we had to get back to basics.
I found myself relatively calm, much more than last week.
It's one of the best ways to end the season with a victory that allows me to go get those two globes [he also tore off the little giant's globe].
"
As for the fiesta, you will have to wait a little longer, however.
Pinturault: “We will take advantage of it tonight but we will not abuse it because there is the slalom tomorrow.
And then we can do whatever we want!
".
After thirty years of waiting, it is not within a day.
Us, on the other hand ... Come on, to yours Alexis!
