You know, sometimes the little victories that I have throughout the season are not necessarily obvious on the track. Maybe they're another aspect of what I'm doing, winning little victories here and there to get everything in line to be able to perform from top to bottom on race day.

I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.

Once you know what to expect, it gets easier and easier. And now I know what I have to do to prepare for each season and what to expect through each season.

Every race is not perfect; there are obviously a lot of things I can improve on at the end of the race.

There is no pressure on me, I can take a lot of risks in the coming weeks. I feel free to ski the way I decide on race-day because the overall title was not my main target this winter.

For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in.

I think everyone expects if you're in the lead, or if you're a favourite to win, you will win, and if you don't, then you're in a slump. It's not the case.

I am a family man, and I have to find my priorities. During the season, it is to race. During the off-season, it is to spend time with my family.

Anytime you have a tight race and you lose, it's not pleasant.
