"I like the speed, the thrill, but otherwise it's boring," he added, "a bit like Evel Knievel on his motorcycle." He was glad that the deciding race of the season was the giant slalom, the technically most demanding of the races. Next? asked a reporter. "A summer doing absolutely no skiing," was the answer.
