“Granti\u0146am viss bija t\u0101, k\u0101 j\u0101b\u016bt Pasaules kausa debij\u0101, – vi\u0146\u0161 uzreiz tika iemests pie haiziv\u012bm un izbaud\u012bja, ka, ja gribi pac\u012bn\u012bties par augst\u0101k\u0101m viet\u0101m, tad k\u013c\u016bdas tras\u0113 pie\u013caut nedr\u012bkst. Divniekos k\u013c\u016bdas jau diezgan d\u0101rgi maks\u0101ja. \u010cetriniekos paveic\u0101s ar starta numuru. Treni\u0146braucienos san\u0101ca daudzas lietas, kas nesan\u0101ca ma\u010dos, bet t\u0101s ir lietas, kas norakst\u0101mas uz pirm\u0101 posma mandr\u0101\u017eu. Viss ir k\u0101rt\u012bb\u0101, un no \u0161\u012bs vietas tagad vi\u0146am vien\u012bgais virziens ir uz aug\u0161u,” sac\u012bja Cipulis.<\/p>\n
“Nepat\u012bkams p\u0101rsteigums bija starta laiki divniekos, tur gan m\u0113s noteikti grib\u0113j\u0101m redz\u0113t lab\u0101kus rezult\u0101tus,” atzina Cipulis. “Noteikti bija ar\u012b kaut k\u0101ds nevajadz\u012bgs sasprindzin\u0101jums pirms sacens\u012bb\u0101m. Grib\u0113j\u0101s izdar\u012bt vair\u0101k nek\u0101 var, bet tas negat\u012bvi ietekm\u0113 galarezult\u0101tu. \u010cetriniekos starta laiki atkal priec\u0113ja, daudz neatpalik\u0101m no l\u012bderiem, bet brauk\u0161ana neved\u0101s.<\/p>\n
K\u0101di iemesli, to gr\u016bti teikt, bet nov\u0113rojums no malas, skatoties ar\u012b to, k\u0101 citi brauc, tad \u0161\u012b trase pieprasa t\u0101du br\u012bvu, slaidu brauk\u0161anu, \u013coti l\u012bdz\u012bgi k\u0101 Sanktmoricas tras\u0113 \u0160veic\u0113. Brauk\u0161anai j\u0101b\u016bt vieglai, pl\u016bsto\u0161ai, bet J\u0113kabs [Kalenda] ir t\u0101da stila brauc\u0113js, kuram pat\u012bk vair\u0101k past\u016br\u0113t un ne tik daudz str\u0101d\u0101t ar spiedienu, ko pied\u0101v\u0101 trase. Vi\u0146am pat\u012bk pa\u0161am c\u012bn\u012bties cauri, t\u0101p\u0113c tas var\u0113tu b\u016bt iemesls, k\u0101p\u0113c rezult\u0101ts nav t\u0101ds, k\u0101 grib\u0113j\u0101m un uz k\u0101du vi\u0146i b\u016btu sp\u0113j\u012bgi.”<\/p>\n
