Alexis Pinturault admits that when it comes to the world ski championships, it is more often than not "all or bust".
The French racer from the swanky Alpine resort of Courchevel is also in no doubt about his split priorities.
The 29-year-old is the current leader in the overall World Cup standings, bidding to become the first French winner of the big crystal globe since Luc Alphand in 1997.
"It should be seen more as a breath of fresh air," Pinturault said of the February 8-21 world champs in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
