With a small output number
Lehdo had a smaller output number for the downside, which was avoided by success in the World Cup.
– Of course, there is a fact that a small number is always better. No two words. When there is a place, you have to shoot. It’s a crash. Today I fell, not perfectly, but still to the finish, Lehto comments.
