Les réactions :
David Pommer (AUT), first:
“I came here to Erzurum for the first time and I like it very much. The hill is well prepared and we also didn’t have any problems with difficult wind conditions. I was really excited before the start of the competition because the course is really hard. But the race worked out great for our team and the weather was beautiful.”
Manuel Maierhofer (ITA), second:
“I also have to say that it was so nice to jump on that hill and under those fair conditions. We are currently having a good team and so it went well for us today. Erzurum is a bit far away, but I would really like to come back again.”
Tobias Simon (GER), third:
“I know that German teams have been close to the victory many times, for example at the World Championships in Oslo. Today we also didn’t manage to defend the lead in the race, but I know for sure that the German team is able to win. I have been competing at the Continental Cup in January and so I had some good experiences.”
