If you are happy with 3rd place ... you don't have the mentality of a
top champion (imho).

it would be easy to say, "I'm 38 yrs old, not bad for an old guy who
hasn't raced in 3 yrs. I'm happy for Alberto ... blah blah
blah ..."

that is nothing more than the cliche that everyone wants to hear. i
say, go ahead and be a prick. be dissatisfied with 3rd. be
dissatisfied losing to a guy who appears to be another "extra-
terrestrial".

Sure, do as he pleases 365 days a year,
except on the podium. Smile and _act_ as
if he is happy to be there. It will not
hurt; it will help him.
