Moioli with happy with her podium finish.

"I started very well in the final, then I was not fast and on the non-technical side the opponents recovered," she said. 

"I tried to push anyway, because I had the chance to recover even though I had already done a lot of runs on a track for a minute and a half. 

"Overall I'm quite satisfied. 

"I felt good, already during qualifying I was in front of everyone, then in the race we know that things change.

"Between me, Jacobellis and Trespeusch is open challenge to every race. 

"We are always there and next time I will try to change positions on the podium."
