About his favoritism, the Vitorian said he does not attend forecasts or pools. "I only think about giving everything and being satisfied with my performance on the day of the test.In Kona it does not count what you have done throughout the year, it can be an indicator, but anything can happen. favorites, and people who are not so and who will surely be in the top positions, "he analyzed.
