And the goals...?
(Written in September 2006)
After stepping onto the podium three times last season, Erik sets his goal higher - he wants to win a race and finally climb that highest step.
He doesn't focus on actual races only, though. Another goal for next season Erik formulates is to win a globe - something you can only achieve by being among the best all season long.
Talking about the globes - back in 2003, Erik told Journal de Montreal his dream is to win the Overall World Cup one day. Who knows what's still to come...?
