Some Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance.

I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.
