We never thought we could win on this track. In the final race we want to defend our leading position in World Cup.” Andre Florschuetz (GER / World-Champion 2001) “Our material is just good for fast tracks. Due to the snowfall the track was very slow to-day. I knew before that a place on the podium would be a great success. But maybe we still have a chance to win the overall standings.”
